How it Works

You submit your items along with some basic information that will help us describe them.  We reformat the files to make them more web-friendly for viewing in our system.  (We also retain the original formats and make them available to users.)  Then, for each item, we create a metadata record so that users searching the UNT Digital Library will be able to find the item and have a sense of what it is.  Finally, we upload the files and metadata records into the UNT Digital Library system where they are available for discovery.
