Greetings,
I’ve been working on a DSpace instance for my library and another archival
entity on our campus. However, our new Director of Academic Technology (for
the campus) has been consulting with me about the possibility of using DSpace
as a campus IR.
I am curious about what sort of workflow(s) some of you have in place for
processing item record submissions from campus contributors — specifically, how
much metadata you ask your contributors to submit.
While I have confidence that my librarian and archivist colleagues (who are
already used to cataloging and metada) will buy-in to the idea that they need
to complete as many Dublin Core element fields as possible, and as accurately
as possible, when submitting items.... I do have some reservations that
campus-wide contributors will buy-in to such a laborious process.
-- Do you require all contributors (including faculty and students) to fill out
the Dublin Core (or your preferred metadata) element fields?
-- Or do you allow them to submit some sort of intermediary, or basic, set of
fields, and then have someone else (a librarian, a reviewer, etc.) complete or
correct the remaining element fields prior to processing the item submission?
Thank you!
Colleen
