Info If you do not see the content model you are looking for, it may not be a part of your collection policy. You can add a content model to your collection policy by following the steps in this guide.
Select the MODS form you wish to use.
Info title Choosing your MODS form Please select the correct MODS form you wish to use, as the different forms have defaults built into them. Most CTDA users, including users managed by Bibliomation, should use the CTDA Collection MODS Form or the CTDA Item MODS form. Users from University of Connecticut and the Connecticut State Library should select the appropriate MODS form for their object.
You will be taken to the CTDA MODS form.
Info title CTDA MODS Form The CTDA MODS Form has five required fields that you need to fill out, but you should try to be a thorough as possible and fill out as many fields as you can when describing your object. To learn more about the CTDA MODS Form, see the Describing Your Objects Guide.
The first required field you need to populate is the title of your object.
The next required field is the "Resource Type". Depending on what is contained in your binary object, choose the appropriate type from the dropdown menu.
The third required field in the form is "Digital Origin". Depending on the content of your binary object, enter either "reformatted digital" or "born digital" into the text box.
The fourth required field is the "Held By" field. Select your institution from the dropdown menu.
Warning title Institution Does Not Appear in Dropdown If your institution does not appear in the dropdown menu under "Held By" please contact CTDA at ctda@uconn.edu to inform us that your institution is missing.
The final required field is the "Rights" field. Choose your institution from the dropdown menu. If you do not have a customized rights statement, select "Creative Commons NC-BY".
