DRS Deposit for OTC Orders

DRS Deposit for OTC Orders

The option of whether or not to deposit scanned images to Harvard's Digital Repository Service (DRS) should be considered for each order as it is received by either the Owning Repository or Imaging Services.

Different repositories may have their own policies regarding deposit, and if they are well documented, they should be communicated to the Imaging Service's Patron Services unit. In the absence of any such documentation, Imaging Services recommends the following:

Entire Objects

When digitization of an entire book, folder, or other object is requested and the book is stable, without gold leaf or other complicating factors, and is without copyright protection, the volume should be deposited into the DRS and the patron should be sent a link to the material as it appears online.

Individual Images or Pages from Books

Deposit of individual photographs, maps, or other items is encouraged if they have been catalogued individually as a unique object.

Deposit of individual pages or images from books is not recommended, but may be desired when images are particularly valuable to researchers.

"Fill Orders" - Orders made by a repository to complete an object from which a patron has ordered a part

There will be times when a patron orders a page or two out of a book, or a couple items from within a larger container, when the repository feels it would be worthwhile to pay for the remainder of the volume to be digitized so that the entire work can be deposited into the DRS. In these cases, the repository needs to create a second order and provide a billing code for payment.
It is important to remember that both the patron order and the Fill Order will be considered as "Over the Counter" orders, and cannot be "paid for" using Allocation funding.

Details for Fill Orders

Aeon-using repository other than Houghton Library

• • • • The repository clones the patron Copy Order to a new user (preferably a generic repository account) and routes it to xxxPRES
      • The repository adds a note in the new fill order to indicate what additional pages need to be digitized
      • The repository adds notes in both patron and fill order to indicate they are related
        
      • The repository attaches any extra deposit information to the fill order
      • The repository brings/sends the original material to Patron Services

  830 _0 |a Harvard College Library preservation digitization program. |p Patron orders. |5 net   

  If a different or additional 830 is desired, the repository can add a note in the relevant Aeon Copy Order, or contact our Patron Services. 

• Patron notification - IS will send the patron files or URNs once they are ready unless repositories prefer to do so.
