New OASIS release

The OASIS catalog of finding aids ( http://oasis.harvard.edu/ ) has recently been updated with a few new features.

o New Digital Only view
The OASIS Digital Only view is a separate view of a finding aid that is limited to materials in digital form. Once on the Digital Only view, the user can switch to the Full Finding Aid view by clicking the relevant tab. The Digital Only tab will display only for finding aids that contain links to digital materials and/or embedded thumbnail images. For an example of Digital Only View, see the Dickinson Family artifacts guide:

o New digital content search limit
It is now possible to limit an OASIS search to finding aids that contain digitized material. Look for the "Limit to finding aids with digital content" check box on the Search page. When the user selects a finding aid from search results, the Full view displays by default as usual (and the Digital Only tab is just a click away).

For details of features in this release, please consult the release notes: http://hul.harvard.edu/ois/systems/oasis/oasis-relnotes-2_2_8.html.
