MUSICat Guides
Guides for building a local music collection using the open-source MUSICat platform.
Publishing Stages
Jury
The 4-minute MUSICat Juror Demo on Rabble’s site walks jurors through the interface: https://www.musicat.co/demos
Ratings
Jurors can assign ratings to submissions on a scale of 1 to 5 by default (change the star rating to a 3 or 4 star system in Configuration). They can do this by: clicking “Add note” or “Add rating” or clicking on the star graphic. Ratings are tracked in the Jury Report.
YourQueue
Add a submission to Your Queue by selecting “Add to queue” from the action buttons on the right.
When a juror reviews a submission by adding a note or a rating, that submission is marked “reviewed - by me” and, when the juror reloads the page, those submissions are filtered to the bottom of YourQueue.
Librarians can trash submissions in the invite stage (and optionally add a note while doing so); this will send the submission from both the invite and jury stages to the trash can.
