[Dspace-general] Elestronic Magazines in DSpace

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hello Beatriz,

I think the reason no one has answered your question yet is that it's
a little too vague and doesn't give any context to your problem.

For example, I'm not sure what you mean by "electronic magazines".
Are you talking about websites? Or PDFs? Are these commercially
published (so copyright restricted) or not? Is there already metadata
for them, or would someone have to create that?

As to what workflow steps you need to define, that is completely up
to you to decide, depending on your local policies about what you'll
accept into the system. You can deposit the material directly using
the batch upload tools, or create a special workflow with additional
steps to do metadata editing, quality control, and so on. It depends
on who will be doing the work, what their relationship to the system
is, and how much you care about the quality of the results. There is
no single answer to your question.

If your question is really just technical (e.g. how do I setup a
workflow for a new collection) then you can find this in the system
documentation or ask again on the dspace-tech list with more detail.
Otherwise could you try to make your question a little more specific?
I'm sure someone can help you out a little.

Best wishes,

MacKenzie/
