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".
Click "Next" and the next page is where you will upload your object.
Click "Choose file" and find the image file you want to ingest.
Once you have chosen your file, click "Upload".
