A large part of my work during the summer semester was finalizing the metadata standards and completing the documentation. Decisions remained to be made on the metadata and several different documents and spreadsheets from the previous semester's interns needed to be compiled and pieced together to create the final metadata standards document.
Although there may yet be changes and further updates, I was able to complete the "OOS Metadata Standards" document that was started by Megan Calhoun in the spring semester.
Finalizing metadata standards required an extensive update to the existing "OOS Training Manual". I completed this work at the end of July.
It also made sense at this time for me to create a guide, "Updating Records in OOS" for how to update the more than 1,900 records up to the new standards so that the database would be consistent.
