To add new content into the University of Florida Digital Collections (UFDC), the Metadata Unit handles two types of batches: MARC and non-MARC. MARC batches requires more steps. This is because MARC data needs to be converted to fit the UFDC spreadsheet template and as well, the Metadata Unit is responsible for the proper presentation and updates of MARC data in multiple environments that include: OCLC Connexion, Alma and Primo.
Non-MARC batches use UFDC spreadsheet templates customized for individual project needs. To prepare non-MARC metadata for UFDC, please read more here.
Common batches handled by the Metadata Unit include contributions from the following departments and units:
Other Metadata Unit Libguides:
The Metadata Unit members collaborates each other to QC all batches. In the Planner, one member, the worker, finishes a batch, and assigns the batch to another member, the reviewer. The reviewer QCs the batch based on the checklists and leaves the feedback for the worker in the Planner.
