To add a new work to KCWorks, begin by selecting “Add a work” from the Works homepage.

When you land on the “New Draft Work” page, you can navigate through the metadata options by selecting the boxes in the toolbar at the top. Once you select a “Resource Type,” the fields within the resource type will change to select the type of work you’re uploading.

Once you get to the “Collections & Access” box, you can add any collections you’d like the Work to be added to. Works must be approved by collection admins before they will appear in the collection.

You can also select your access options on this page. Public records mean that the metadata and the files you’ve added will be available to everyone immediately. You can also apply an embargo on this page, should you want to make your file or record available later.

Once you have completed filling out the upload form, you will have the option to save a draft, preview your Work, or to publish it.
