PCC: Fixing the Note Field

Today I noticed that there is an error in the way that we have been entering metadata into the Note field. I began the process of editing the entries for the records uploaded so far (which must be done from the administrative side of CONTENTdm because they have already been approved and uploaded from the client). This will take a couple of days, but in the end is worth it for consistency and aesthetic which will aid the user.

The field used to have a complete sentence written about what is on the back of the photograph. For example it would say:

Written on the back of the photograph is "A Pasadena City College Photograph."

But, according to our semantics for the metadata schema, it should read:

"A Pasadena City College Photograph" -- back of photo.

Now that I have noticed this error, all subsequent entries will be entered in the correct way.
