We are definitely in a similar situation. In one of our projects,
we have a collection of materials that was originally stored on floppy
disks. The documents were transferred to a shared drive, so access
to the files could be distributed amongst a group of people.
Various individuals are then able to access a shared Excel Workbook
(stored on the same drive as the files), which is setup to collect
metadata. <br><br>
I developed some documentation for the process we're using. It's
available at
<a href="https://dekiwiki.lib.uci.edu/User:cneiswen/Rorty_Project">
https://dekiwiki.lib.uci.edu/User:cneiswen/Rorty_Project</a> .
Essentially, this outlines how we are getting from docs on a shared drive
through metadata creation, through submission (using bulk upload).
<br><br>
I tend to be a little cautious, and want to QC things extensively. So,
we're using step 2 in the DSpace workflow process, just to be sure that
what is automatically generated (and bulk loaded) looks correct once it
has been uploaded.<br><br>
Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide any additional info
(or if you have streamlined procedures that we might be able to
adapt...).<br><br>
Have a great day,<br>

I’m curious to find out how other DSpace members are managing their
workflow. We are considering not using the built-in DSpace workflow (for
various reasons I will not detail here). The thinking is that we will
batch import groups of items instead of doing one at a time.<br>
<br>
We have students who can write the basic metadata, and a digital content
specialist who writes the more complex metadata such as abstract/keyword
information.<br>
<br>
I would like to know if anyone else has a similar situation where two or
more people are writing metadata without using the DSpace workflow – and
if you are in that situation, can you describe your workflow to me? I’m
trying to figure out the best arrangement.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
