Useful information and links
Files live at: Group Space: (I:) > SPO > ACLS > Backlist Rounds > ACLS ##
Types of content we receive
EPUB files direct from the publisher
PDFs direct from the publisher
TIFF scans from Trigonix (physical books are sent to Trigonix, who then scans them)
General production steps
Step 1: Preparing files for Fulcrum
When files are received from a publisher, download and place them at (I:) > SPO > ACLS > Backlist Rounds > ACLS ## > Publisher Name
No need to separate EPUBs and PDFs, they can all be placed in the same folder
If any metadata sheets are sent, place them here as well
Notify Tim (tbelc@umich.edu) so that he can review the EPUBs/PDFs and optimize them if necessary
Once Tim has reviewed the files, PDFs in need of bookmarks will be placed at Sharedgroups (S:) > Information Management > Fulcrum > MPS > HEB > Round## > needs_bookmarks
Bookmark the PDFs according to the documentation here
When you are done, no need to create a new save file, you can overwrite the existing one with the bookmarked version
Once a PDF is bookmarked, update the title’s status on the HEB Ingest sheet
In Column I (Status), change “Bookmark Pending” to “Bookmarked”
Let Tim know once all PDFs have been bookmarked so that he can ingest them into Fulcrum, along with any EPUBs that may have been sent by the publisher
For Trigonix files, follow the steps at “Trigonix” below
Step 2: Reviewing files on Fulcrum
Once Tim has created monographs for the new titles, he will update the HEB Ingest sheet with links to the monographs in Column B

Step 3: Creating MARC records
If they haven’t already, ask Terri and Sean to provide a finalized metadata spreadsheet for all of the titles in the round
Once you have the spreadsheet, send this along with all of the publisher files (PDFs and EPUBs) to Backstage Library Works so that they can create MARC records
Backstage Library Works will send the MARC records, and Jeremy and Jen will review them for accuracy and completion. Generally, there is no further action needed from the Production person at this point.
Step 4: Publishing the Round
Create a publishing ticket in the FULCRUMOPS project on Jira using /wiki/spaces/FULCRUMOPS/pages/178126849.
As part of this ticket, a dev should use the scripts at https://github.com/jgmorse/hebUtils to create updated title lists. When these are done, check them over and upload to the DropBox folder.

Trigonix (scanned TIFFs)
Production steps for files sent by Trigonix are largely the same as bookmarking PDFs, with just a few additional steps:
When Dessie (dessie@trigonix.com) sends files, log in to your Trigonix account and download them and place them at (I:) > SPO > ACLS > Backlist Rounds > ACLS ## > Scans from Trigonix
For each batch of files sent by Dessie, separate these into their own folders (e.g. First Batch, Second Batch, etc.)
Let Tim know that there are new scans so that he can compile these into PDFs
Tim will notify you when the PDFs have been created and note the file path to locate the PDFs for bookmarking
At this point, return to the General Production Steps, starting with Step 3
