Major Changes

There are several significant changes with the workflow and the submission form with this upgrade. Here is a summary of the most noticeable differences you can expect to see:

The Submission Form

• The submission form in the updated site is one page, as opposed to the multiple pages as it was previously.

• Uploading the document is now the first step of the submission process.

• Embargoes are applied from a new menu within the submission form rather than appearing as a default option during the upload process. Please note that this workflow is currently under development by OU Libraries.

• Subject Category field is now Keywords. There is also a new Library of Congress Subject field that is meant for internal use only.

• The Creative Commons License Chooser has been temporarily removed from the form. This is in order to facilitate time necessary for ongoing discussions and work taking place to provide better copyright guidance to graduate students as well as continued development work required for the functionality of the tool.

Workflows

• Submissions and workflow tasks displays have changed and now are displayed on separate pages in a central workflow hub called MyDSpace.

• Approved submissions will not appear in your submissions page. They must be located by navigating to the appropriate collection.

• New labeling now appears on items within the repository. Please note that these labels are currently under development by OU Libraries.
