Digital Assets

Portfolio is a Digital Asset Management program that works with your Integrated Library System (ILS) and Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) to provide a single search of the contents of your catalog. A patron’s search can provide results from your library catalog, federated databases, digital asset database, and your own custom content.

The Assets page and its options help you to do the following when creating and managing digital assets:

• Navigate a hierarchy that lets you easily organize the digital assets
• Add, modify, copy, move, or delete digital assets and directory nodes in the digital asset hierarchy
• See a preview image, if available, for a digital asset
• View details for a digital asset, or the digital asset itself
• View contents of a directory node
• Import data and files for assets using a file loader or OAI-PMH harvester
• Export data and files
• Set up an OAI-PMH server to share asset metadata with other libraries
• Configure asset management, such as creating, modifying, and deleting templates for metadata and adding, modifying, or deleting media types
• Permanently remove deleted digital assets and directory nodes
• Restore deleted digital assets and directory nodes to the digital asset hierarchy
