Funders

The library acknowledges funders of digital collections using the Digital Collection Highlight pages. There is a taxonomy of funders.

Acknowledge a Funder (for Collection Owner)

• Create a  Digital Collection Highlight page, and in the Funder field select the appropriate funder from the pull down list.
• If the funder is not on the list:
  • Contact the Yale University Library Development Office and ask for the correct, formal name of the funder.
  • Send the funder's name and description to the User Experience Department. Include a URL for the organization. 
  • The UX department will create the page and add the funder to the taxonomy. In the Digital Collection Highlight page add the funder.
• When the Digital Collection Highlight page is published check to see that the funder is listed, the link to the funder works, and this digital collection is listed on the funder page.

Create the Funder Entry (for UX staff)

• Make sure the funder name has been approved and that an entry does not already exist.
• On the web site go to Structure>Taxonomy>Funding Source>Add Term
• Create the page and notify the collection owner. The associated digital collection will not be listed with the funder until the Digital Collection Highlight page is created and published.
