- Archival: Can I add an individual item to a collection? Yes – select items and “Add to Collection” (ex. Beckman)
- Workflow: In the future how much info will pull from other CMSs (PastPerfect and Sierra)? Not positive about API for Sierra, but PastPerfect might be a manual process. Will explore Sierra API before PastPerfect. Could be that a new version of PP or a different museum CMS would make automatic data pulls easier, but to be discussed. Easier to clean-up data via batch functionality in Hydra than in PP. In future, maybe don't catalog all information in Museum CMS if not necessary (ex. maybe subject info done in Hydra instead. TBD.)
- PS: Concern that partial collections are online and gives users wrong impression. Will people ignore the OPAC? Can we link back? MD: We can add links to OPAC and/or Finding Aid, add disclaimer at beginning re: amount of collection digitized, but this is a common problem for digital libraries. Should also bring in different audiences via different access point. HK: Could possibly add link to “View this collection in the online catalog”
