These are general guidelines around depositing digitized patron requests.
Depositing Digital Images
What is deposited?
- Whole objects regardless of copyright status
What is not 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 two or more pages with very few exceptions.
When is structural metadata not needed?
- If the complete object only contains one page.
