[Insightl] Copyright and Cataloging Questions

[Karen Reardon]

For collections where we don't have copyright - we restrict use to 
on-campus users only. We have added images from vendor purchased 
collections where metadata is supplied by running the data through our 
normal upload processes.

As for metadata - we have worked to create a 'Library Core' for use by 
users of Personal Insight - documentation is here:
http://www.library.yale.edu/eli/metadata_examples.doc

We intend/hope to expand/modify these guidelines for use as a minimun 
field requirement for all Library collections as well.
