The UF Digital Collections (UFDC) now have fully functioning online metadata editing!
It’s only been a few weeks since the UFDC self-submittal tool for faculty to use to load materials to the Institutional Repository and for UFDC partners to use to load materials to their collections went live and now we’ve already added full online metadata editing. Mark Sullivan, the programmer who created the internal metadata editor originally as a desktop tool and who has now made the online tool with the same and even enhanced functionality over the desktop tool, released the online metadata editing earlier this week. We’ve been keeping the release quiet for a few days to check for bugs and problems internally before sharing the good news with everyone.We haven’t found any bugs and we’ve found a whole lot to love, so we’re pleased to be able to share the news of the online metadata editing tool with everyone!
See the screenshots below to see how it works (annotations coming soon), or UF faculty, UF researchers, and UFDC partners can sign up for myUFDC accounts to begin loading and editing.
Online Metadata Editing (some of the preview views run across in my Firefox for the screenshots, but it looks great in use)
