- Navigate to the DAMS landing page for the asset you want to publish.
- Click on the "Manage" tab.
If the asset has a content model that allows for publishing, you will see a grey button labeled "Publish".
If the asset is already in published status, the button will be labeled "Unpublish". Click on the button labeled "Publish".
A green message box appears, saying that your publish request has been sent.
You will receive an email message with information about the status of your publish request.Note You should receive a status notification approximately 15 minutes after pressing the "Publish"/"Unpublish" button. The notification contains either an error message or a confirmation that the publish request was processed successfully. If you do not receive an email within ca. 15 minutes, please submit a trouble ticket to the DAMS managers.
Batch publishing
If you want to publish larger numbers of assets (>10), please submit a service request with the DAMS managers.
Please include a list of PIDs of the assets that are ready for publication. This could be a status email for a successful batch ingest. You can also use the Python script for generating an asset status report to create a list of PIDs. The script is available from the following URL: https://github.austin.utexas.edu/mmh4428/dams_user_tools
Verifying publication
To verify that your publication worked, go to https://collections.lib.utexas.edu/ and check if you can search and access your published item. The public URL for a published asset follows this pattern: https://collections.lib.utexas.edu/catalog/<PID>. Ensure that no images are visible if you published metadata-only records. Check that your data is what you want it to be. If you need to change your metadata then simply edit your MODS in the DAMS, un-publish the item and re-publish to make those changes visible to the world.
In the DAMS, the publication status of an asset can be checked by navigating to the asset's landing page (https://dams.lib.utexas.edu/islandora/object/<PID>). If the asset has been successfully published to the Collections Portal, the landing page will show a small globe icon in the upper right corner. In addition, the label of the publishing button located on the "Manage" tab will change from "Publish" to "Unpublish".
If you need to check the publication status of multiple assets in a subcollection, you can use a Python script to generate an asset status report. You can find the script under the following URL: https://github.austin.utexas.edu/mmh4428/dams_user_tools
