Adding Images in HDAQ

The Hekman Library has made it possible for participating departments to add images and accompanying metadata to the HDA by logging into the HDAQ system. For adding metadata, refer to the Adding Metadata in HDAQ document. Images and metadata that are entered into HDAQ will remain in this location until uploaded into the HDA by Library staff.

Department: (e.g.) Communication Arts and Science
Collection: (e.g.) Costume History

Go to the HDAQ login at http://www.calvin.edu/cgi-bin/lib/hdaq.pl, or point to

• library's homepage
• A-Z Index
• HDAQ

Login: (e.g.) cas1
password: (e.g.) c0stum3

Once you log into HDAQ, you have four options: Add a new entry Edit an entry View your entries Change your settings Add a new entry. This option will typically be the most used option. When you click on this option, you will see the a screen similar to image at the right. Clicking on browse will allow you to locate where you have stored the image (e.g., your department's common drive, your pc's C: drive, or images burned onto a CD). NOTE that depending on the browser you are using, you may have to disignate the "Files of Type" to look for files other than .html. Once you have located and clicked on the image of your choice, click on "Process Image." A new browser window will open that will allow you to enter metadata for the image.

If many images share common metadata (such as image source, copyright information, etc.), it is possible to make this information default by adding it into the settings for the login (HDAQ option 4. Change your settings). Contact Chris Hirt with any questions regarding adding images or changing the settings of your login.
