Thanks to all the individuals that helped me deal with installation
difficulties (well, ignorance is bliss sometimes and RTFM can go a long
way toward ultimate success).
It's working and I think it's working properly (I can do stuff even
though I don't know what the heck I'm doing).
Now this may not be the best place to ask, but I would really appreciate
a little push in the right direction for getting things set up for the
long haul; let me explain, as briefly as possible, what I have to deal with:
* We have some 60,000+ books dating from the 12th through the early
20th century (only a few early 20th century, maybe 50 volumes);
* We have statuary dating from ancient Egypt through Greek and Roman
time to the 19th century;
* We have postage stamps dating from the beginning of postage stamps;
* We have coins dating from Greek and Roman times through modern
European and Asian periods;
* We have scientific instruments dating from... well, ancient Egypt
though modern European and Asian periods;
* We have monographs and documents dating from, roughly, the 15th century;
* We have art in multiple formats dating from the Middle Ages though
early 20th century Asian woodcuts;
* In short, we have a helluva a lot of stuff.
Maybe someday there will be scholarly papers (at least I hope there
will!) but, for now, I need to catalog our holdings (with appropriate
images for articles that can be photographed or scanned) in a reasonable
way and I'm wondering if someone might be able to point me to some
documentation that describes a "pretty good way" of doing that with DSpace?
Thanks for any advice.
