Search OCLC records and choose which ones to import into ArchivesSpace as Accession records.
Download the latest release from the Releases tab in Github:
https://github.com/lcdhoffman/aspace_oclc/releases
Unzip it to the plugins directory:
$ cd /path/to/archivesspace/plugins
$ unzip /path/to/your/downloaded/oclc.zip -d oclc
Enable the plugin by editing the file in config/config.rb:
AppConfig[:plugins] = ['some_plugin', 'oclc']
(Make sure you uncomment this line (i.e., remove the leading '#' if present))

You will need a key, secret, and principal_id for the OCLC Metadata API:
AppConfig[:oclc_metadata_key] = { Your Metadata API Key }
AppConfig[:oclc_metadata_secret] = { Your Metadata API Key }
AppConfig[:oclc_principal_id] = { Your OCLC Principal ID }
Contact OCLC to acquire these. You can read about the service here:

Note that this plugin will not work with a version of ArchivesSpace that is missing this commit, which adds the accession importer:
https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/commit/25eab1e77d4c0493e3a165251605b962b4a8c574
Users with appropriate permissions will be able to use a menu item in the Plugins section of the toolbar to import OCLC records.
Start by entering a list of OCLC numbers and previewing the results. Start the import job by clicking "Import".
