  • Organization of Information
    • Records are organized into University colleges, departments, institutions, and groups
    • Records can be mapped into several collections to fully represent the contributing members
      • "Mapping" is when a single record appears in more than one collection
      • Increases the record's visibility
    • Metadata, including subject terms, publisher, and author, allows users to browse various limiters
  • University Supported
