  4. Collection Management Module The institution can arrange objects in a hierarchical collection structure. Staff members use a dedicated web-based interface for creation, management, and publishing of collections. A collection record can point either to a child collection of records (e.g., Art, Paintings) or can include pointers to specific objects or group of objects. Each collection record can include title, description, and thumbnail. Each object can be part of more than one collection.

  5. Collection Types • The Collection type defines the collection contents. • There are three collection types in DigiTool: • Node – contains sub-collections linked to the collection, • Itemized – contains objects linked to the collection, defined manually record/object by record/object. • Logical – dynamic collection, which contains objects linked to the collection, defined by a search command.

  6. Logical Vs. Itemized • A collection can be defined with a search command (i.e., logical) or a list of Object PID’s (itemized) • An itemized list of objects involves selecting individual records that are appropriate for inclusion in the itemized collection. • A logical collection definition involves “instantiating” the search command to derive a group of objects that meet the search criteria. • The end result of the 2 collection types is a definitive list of Object PID’s

  9. Create a New Collection • To create a new collection, click on the “NewCollection” icon on the left-hand pane. • The right-hand pane of the collection management screen populates the form for the collection’s detailed information and attributes.

  10. Collection Attributes Silo • The silo to which the collection belongs (by default DigiTool comes with one silo that includes objects from all admin units). The silo is defined for the main node collection and automatically applies to all sub-nodes of the entire collection. Collection name (mandatory) • The Collection name is a representative linkable title for the collection which will appear in the directory structure and navigation path from the Resource Discovery. Collection type • The Collection type defines the collection contents.

  11. Collection Attributes Thumbnail • The thumbnail defines an image representation of the collection that will be linked to the collection display in the Resource Discovery. Short description • The short description is a short sentence describing the collection’s content. Long description • The long description of the collection provides a Resource Discovery user with detailed information about the collection by clicking on the “More” link from within a collection.

  12. Create Collection’s Contents • In order to find and add items or search query to collections, go inside the collection by clicking icons. The right hand pane populates search in the Resource Discovery module:
