For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource SURF Ephemera Collection Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource MATT EXAMPLE If the object has a title, use that title. If not, briefly describe the object: "Campaign Button for Lyndon Baines Johnson." Subject The topic of the resource Think broadly here--"California Democratic Politics," "Election Ephemera," and "Campaign Hat." Description An account of the resource Here is where you can be specific--"A bottle of whiskey depicting Governor Patrick Brown used as marketing material for his campaign for re-election in 1968" Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource This is not you--although you photographed the object, this refers to the creator of the original object. Often, you will not know. But think--who is this object related to. So, I might say Jane Talmach for a Jane Talmach sign, even if it was in fact created by Acme Poster Company. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Please use this language--The Jane Talmach Collection housed at the John Spoor Broome Library, CSU Channel Islands Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Almost always this will be the campaign associated with your object--but if is a printed page, like a newspaper ad, try to determine which newspaper and use that name as the publisher. In these instances, neither you nor CI are the publisher Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource As you become more familiar with your objects and collection, you will probably be able to better date your pieces--for instance, if you have a button from the 1968 Democratic Convention, you can use "1968." We don't need granularity down to the day, just the year. If you have no way of knowing which campaign an object is associated with, say "circa 1965," or something similar Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Please use this language--The Jane Talmach Family Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Please use this language--All rights reserved by CSU Channel Islands. Relation A related resource Please use this field to "relate" an individual object with your exhibit. Something like, "Losers in Politics." Wasn't that one of the group's titles? Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Keep in mind that this can be very helpful for researchers. We want the format to reflect the object, not your photograph of it. So, it might look like this--metal button with pin on back, depicting Lyndon Baines Johnson on front. 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. Language A language of the resource This will almost always be English Type The nature or genre of the resource Generally, we will employ the Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials, which assigns the subject "Political Campaigns," to our materials. Unless your object is a newspaper or some other non-Political thing, in which case talk to Matt about it. Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context This field allows libraries to assign a unique number to an object for retrieval and physical access. Please just leave this blank. Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant In instances where we know the locale, like Oxnard in the case of Jane's campaign for city council, use "Oxnard, California." No abbreviations. If we know the state, employ "California." In some instances, we won't know, in which case it is acceptable to leave this blank. Don't say "United States," as that is too general and not helpful.
