Direct submission to DSpace by faculty or Librarians
Limitations affecting workflow and repository structure:
Deposit button must be globally enabled in Elements
Crosswalk limitations
The crosswalk allows conditional statements that will send an item to a particular collection based on its title, publication type, author name, etc. However this can't be done using the name of the department, meaning moving individual items into departmental 'collections' would have to be done manually through DSpace. This can't be done as a part of metadata review, but is a separate process.
A 'flat structure' wherein front-end structure (far down the line) could be provided through metadata?
A structure based on communities and collections
'Flat structure' option would still require the following divisions:
ETDs
'Research' (Articles, misc.)
Data??

Annie's Updates and additions
The submission template is ready to fill in. Annie will populate this when the time is right.
Which material types will we accept?
Questions about the group and process going forward:
What's the exact role of this implementation group? Membership? Purpose?
Do we need to get other people involved (in order to benefit from their expertise)? If so, what's the best way to do that (i.e. enlarge our current group, form some subgroups, etc.)?

DSpace Workflows
Group
David and Cynthia's reaction, updates, and additions.
Ongoing workflow roles to be filled:
Elements:
Someone will have to submit. Faculty? Librarians? Student workers?
DSpace:
Metadata from Elements needs to be reviewed.
ETD workflow... two options at present, but both require metadata review
How can we ensure that the crosswalk won't be broken by Elements field and system adjustments happening outside the library?
