Getting Started with Humboldt Digital Scholar
ALL first-time users MUST register an account and be authorized by the HDS Administrator to submit to one or more Collections in HDS.
Create a Collection in Humboldt Digital Scholar
To establish a Collection in an existing Community in Humboldt Digital Scholar, an individual or group must have the support of that Community. The HDS Administrator will establish the requested Collection with the appropriate authorizations in consultation with the Collection Liaison. Individual faculty also may set up personal collections within the already-established HSU Faculty Scholarship Community by contacting the HDS Administrator.
Individual students may submit only to established Collections and must have the authorization of the Collection Liaison.
Each Collection may have its own membership, guidelines, and/or standards. Access to Communities or Collections may be open or restricted, according to the Community's needs. The Collection Liaisons determine requirements for each collection, including:
Some Collections may require approval of submissions by the Collection Liaison, who reviews all items submitted to the Humboldt Digital Scholar Collection that he or she oversees. If review of each item is not a realistic goal due to the size of the Collection or due to time constraints, the Liaison should carefully review the first few items submitted and should continue periodically to review selected items to ensure that Collection policies are being followed and that appropriate metadata is being provided.
