  5. Click the Map to Omeka S data Tab, scroll to the bottom – in the row labelled media, click the + – then in the column that appears on the right, click on Media Source, then select URL, then clicl Apply Changes – you should see Media Source [URL] appear next to media in the middle column
  6. Click the Import button on the top right – & give it time, since uploading the pdfs can take a while

  7. When the upload is complete, Click Items – the files for the whole class appear in this list, so look for your name in the Owner Column
    1. Check that all your items uploaded (often some do not)
    2. If there are missing items, make a copy of your dataset csv file, delete the rows/items that were uploaded, save the csv, and upload the edited csv by repeating steps #2-#6
  8. When you have completed this import, let me know so I can change your user permissions so you don’t accidentally delete your work or that of someone else in the class
