To slow down the rate at which items were loaded into
CONTENTdm we gave the students guidance on the types of items we
were looking for and sent them over to the Albert Gore Research
Center. They concentrated on selecting items, but without the benefit
of prior experience in completing metatadata they didn't know exactly
what information they needed to capture to assure complete
documentation of the items. The result was that many objects were
loaded with incomplete data and improper form. Predictably, we are
still returning to some of the earlier records to fill gaps and fix
inconsistencies.
