Scholars Junction admin guide

Content in Digital Commons is grouped into publications, which can be grouped into communities. Communities can contain both communities and publications, but cannot themselves contain items. Only publications can contain items. Items can contain multiple files, or none if they're metadata-only records.

We can always adjust the hierarchy later using the Group Tool, but why not get it right the first time? ;)

This means you will need to know exactly what kind of content the collection does and will contain and accept.

Does the collection include articles? Postcards? Oral history interviews? Datasets? You will need to prepare a list to populate the Document Type dropdown field.

These have to be provided up front.

Requesting your structure should be the last step in the process of preparing a new collection. Pretty much everything should be ready to go when we ask bepress to create a structure.
