Check

  • Search for any blank spaces in license file names and fix them.

  • Check that all departments are in the collection builder file. Sort and scan.

  • Check the rights field labels to ensure they are  dcterms.accessRights 

  • Check the author field label is dc.contributor.author.

  • Fix accessRights issues: Delete extraneous access rights column. Look for and fix an extra space after dcterms.accessRights in the column with the standard note.

  • Check that dates are in the year-mo-da format. After this step is done, do NOT open in Excel but import selecting "delimited" as type and "comma" as the delimiter. When you get to step 3, make sure ALL the columns with dates are set to TEXT.
