- Users can now use the “Cloud file” upload tab to import their UC Kaltura videos directly into Scholar@UC.
- Keyword search has been extended to all descriptive metadata fields.
- Added Clermont, Blue Ash, and Law Library to the “College” menu option for student work types.
- On collection pages, the “Search within this collection” button has been renamed “Browse this collection.”
-
To facilitate batch loads and imports of works from other repositories, repository managers can now change work ownership to users who have never logged in. Once those users login, they will have complete control of their content.
