INTRODUCTION

This guide explains the steps for adding the necessary links to Baldwin items which are part of the Movables project. The end goal is to have the UFDC pages of the Baldwin item linked to a PDF model of the movable mechanism contained in the UFIR and vice versa, and to add the UFDC page as an electronic portfolio to the Alma record, allowing users to access it through Primo. This LibGuide is primarily intended as an internal document for metadata staff working with the UFDC but is also available publicly to increase transparency of our workflows and activities.

SUMMARY OF STEPS

  • Use UFDC Metadata Editor to add Related URLs to both the Baldwin items and IR PDF Models
  • Use OCLC Connexion to export records to Alma Network and Institution Zone
  • Add UFDC link as an electronic portfolio to each item in Alma
