How to determine what is/is not deposited
These are general guidelines around depositing digitized patron requests.
Depositing Digital Images
What is deposited?
- Visual images from cataloged books, manuscripts, ephemera, art, etc.
- Whole objects
- Single pages of illuminated manuscripts
- Items under copyright or otherwise restricted may be deposited, with curatorial permission, as “Harvard-only,” or entirely suppressed from public view.
...
- regardless of copyright status
What is not deposited?
- Single pages of a text or letter.
- Partial pages of any kind.
- Double spread of text only (double spreads of images should be deposited)
- Anything that is not a whole object
Structural (PDS) Metadata
This is required when there are multiple images from a single item that need to be made into a “page turning” digital object: a book; a 4-page letter, etc.
When to use Structural Metadata?
- Complete objects that contain three two or more pages with very few exceptionsWhen there are six or more images from any one object, but the whole object is not digitized.
...
When is structural metadata not needed?
- If the complete object only contains one or two pages.
- If there are less than six images from one object and is not a complete object.
...
- page.
