CollectionSpace now features a new authority: Citation. You can use it, for instance, to cite the books, periodical and journal articles, and other publications that refer to or depict the objects in your collection. We invite you to try out this new authority at: http://qa.collectionspace.org Please give us your feedback - comments, questions or wish list requests - via the project Talk list, talk@lists.collectionspace.org To try out the Citation Authority: * From the Create New page, you can create new Citation terms. * From any Cataloging page, you can enter an existing or new Citation term in the "Reference" field, in the Reference Information section near the bottom of the record. * From any Vocabulary Term record - Person, Organization, Storage Location and more - you can enter an existing or new Citation term in the "Source" field, in the second row of each Term's information. * From the Search box on any page, you can search for Citation terms. And from the Advanced Search page, you can build and carry out detailed searches for Citation terms. The Citation Authority is a community contribution, contributed by the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK): National Gallery of Denmark. It is one of several contributions made within the last 12 months to CollectionSpace by its museum partners. The Museum of the Moving Image has also offered two contributions, of a Condition Check procedure and Work authority, that are proposed for incorporation into future releases. As well, a number of feature additions and bug fixes have already been incorporated into CollectionSpace, resulting from implementation work at three museums at the University of California, Berkeley, and that work has also generated more than ten currently-proposed contributions. We expect the Citation Authority to be incorporated into CollectionSpace's next release, currently identified as version 3.2.3. (It is possible that, due to the magnitude of this and other changes, this release may be renamed to version 3.3.)

From the Lifesci tenant on the QA host, you can try out one additional demonstration use of the Citation Authority: http://qa.collectionspace.org/collectionspace/ui/lifesci/html/index.htm * From a Taxon Term record, you can enter an existing or new Citation term in the "Common Name -> Source" field.
