Begining Procedures

Depending on the functions you want to perform using Media Management, you must be authorized for function 601 (View Media), 602 (Add Media), 603 (Modify Media), or 604 (Delete Media). See your Millennium system administrator for details and permissions.

In order to use Millennium Media you will need to have a bibliographic record. To use Millennium Media with Course Reserves, you will need to have a bibliographic record with an attached item record.

  1. Retrieve the bibliographic record to which you are going to attach a media file.
  2. Choose the Media button from the toolbar.



  3. In the Media Manager window, click on the Media Manager folder. The Add Media Set button will appear in the Display panel. Choose Add Media Set. You will need to add a media set for each media file you add to your record.

  4. Enter a title for the media set. This title will be visible when you open Millennium Media after the set up. If you are attaching multiple media sets to one record, choose a unique title for each file so you can find it later.
  5. Publisher Code: If your library has acquired Copyright and Access feature, you will see this code. This code is used to track statistics on users who access the files and to govern access to the file. There is only one code that is already in the system: 000 (zero-zero-zero). Enter 000 for files for which you will not be requiring patron verification. Entering anything other than 000 will prompt patrons to verify themselves in order to view the media files, so your library may want to set some internal standard for codes used to track statistics. When using Electronic Course Reserves, enter 000 if you are going to rely solely on the course password to restrict access to the media file.
  6. If your library has purchased the Copyright and Access feature for Millennium Media, you can also set up charges that will accrue for viewing a media file, printing pages of the media file, or printing the entire media file. Enter these charges in the boxes. Your library can also choose to have preset charges. See Restricting Access for more information.
  7. Check the 'Use Image Viewer' to use the Millennium viewer for the images. This is optional for single images, but mandatory for multiple images.
  8. Choose what type of media file to add to the record.
  • Importing files - use this option for files on your computer
  • Scanning images - use this option when you are using a scanner attached to your computer
  • Importing a URL or linking to a URL - use this option when the media you want to add to your catalog is located on the Internet

If you create multiple media sets, you can change the order by clicking and dragging the file to where you want it.

To add different media sets to the same record, click on the Media Manager folder and follow the steps above. Keep in mind that you can only add one media file to each media set, but you can add several media sets to a bibliographic record.
