Full step-by-step instructions
Create zip files of book images
Upload files to the Internet Archive
Log in to the Internet Archive -- see Watson Library staff for the username and password.
Click the “Upload” button > Upload files
Drag and drop your zipped file into the gray box.
Fill in the following fields: (draw values from the bibliographic record found in Watsonline–refer to the screenshot below for a sample)
When finished, click the button “Upload and Create Your Item.”
Wait for item to appear online (optional--typically I just go ahead)
You may have to wait several hours or overnight for the item to finish deriving, and therefore display.
