I thought of the same thing Amy! ... and I thought I could talk about how it relates to the OAIS model so I give them more theory than applied, but in this case I think it is a good thing.
best, libbie

What about using the Colectica Excel Addin? I admit, I haven't had a chance
to play with it yet, but Excel should be nice and familiar and that might
be a way to ease into the concepts...

 Zotero dataset item type update

"Mooney, Hailey" <moo...@mail.lib.msu.edu> Dec 03 02:31PM  

Hello SIGDC members,
 
As mentioned at our meeting recently, I had the opportunity to attend a Zotero train-the-trainer workshop given by Sebastian Karcher last week. I brought up the issue of adding a "dataset" item type to Zotero. I learned that this is already under development in response to community suggestions. There is still work to be done, for example correcting issues with sync processes. They are also working on this for other new item types, such as music scores. Zotero expects to roll out new item types as part of its next major version update (it cannot be done as a smaller patch), which has a loose ballpark figure of approximately six months from now, everything going according to plan. They are basing the record fields on the DataCite metadata schema. The dataset item type is already included in the Citation Style Language (CSL) coding that Zotero relies on to format citations.
 
Sincerely,
Hailey

I'm curious to hear how it works. The download file was *.exe, so I'm assuming it's Windows only. Having so much trouble with my laptop at the moment, I'm not opening my Windows emulator unless absolutely necessary...
