Today's project is to update the metadata template with the revisions from yesterday's meeting. This new version will be circulated via Email as well as Bertha, the project external drive.
Once that has been completed I beginning researching how DSpace exposes metadata to harvesters, such as OAI. It is important to understand this process so that we can make sure that all vital metadata will be exposed, should the project be opened up to metadata harvesting.
Next project for the day is to begin familiarizing myself with AMA style citations. After some discussion, the project leaders decided that all citations would be entered in AMA style.
Journal/Serial/Periodical AMA reference citation format.
Author(s). Article title. Journal Title. Year; volume(issue): pages included.
Should I have some time left, my next project is to begin working on templates for submitting the Statistical Tables (included within the issues) as separate items. These tables will likey require very different metadata than the issue/article submissions. In addition to submitting tables separately, we are also planning on doing an aditional item submission for the journal covers (since many have historically important photos), and other photographs throughout the issues.
