In Deep Blue (at U. of Michigan) our practice and experience is similar to what Sarah described below:
* we require only title, author, and date * depositors usually add much more * we (the people who run the service) don't do any systematic additions to this, though we do tweak things when asked or see/hear about problems Jim > In IDEALS, we require only the title, date, at least one subject > keyword, and the broad type of publication. > > But I have to say from seeing the material uploaded over time that the > majority of depositors provide far more information that that required > and generally use many of the fields that we provide (actually an > interesting question, we'll have to do a study of that!). We do not have > catalogers or others fill in more metadata. ____________________________________ Jim Ottaviani +1 734-763-4835 Coordinator, Deep Blue http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu University of Michigan Library Information wants to be free.
