Happy New Year to all,
The Center for Creative
Photography began using TMS this past year and we are about to initiate a
project to digitize at least part of our archive, which holds
approximately 5 million items. We are wondering how other institutions
are using TMS to import and organize these kinds of projects.
As far as moving large numbers of records into TMS, we have looked into using the TMS Media Importer Tool as one option, which
would seem to allow us greater control over some of the metadata
collected during the imaging process. On the other hand, it may be more
efficient to create Objects to represent certain levels of containers
(e.g. box or folder) and then drag and drop the media assets into those
Object records and not worry about detailed metadata.
Thank you in advance for any experience or insight you may be able to provide about working with large imaging projects and TMS.
Edward
