Metadata Creation for OTC Order Deposits

Any order that is going to be deposited into the DRS requires metadata creation. Metadata for OTC is done at the lowest level of description. The process is decided by two factors: whether the material being digitized is going to be linked using Alma or using ArchiveSpace, and if the material consists of a single page, or of multiple pages.  

Basic Guidelines

Materials Cataloged in Hollis/Alma

Multiple Pages (Template 1)

Single Page (Template 5)

Materials Cataloged in Hollis for Archival Discovery/ArchivesSpace

Any Page Length (Template 6)

Multiple Folders Digitized as one Object (Template 4)
