The UCARConnect catalog is made up of information about high-quality online educational resources created by the UCAR community. Information comes from the databases and organizational knowledge of the various UCAR divisions and is organized into metadata records. This wiki is intended to explain this process so that you will know how to submit resource information to UCARConnect.

This wiki is intended to provide information on how to create and share metadata with UCARConnect. It complements, and often redirects to, the Developer APIs wiki.

For more information about the benefits of contributing your division's educational resources to the catalog, please see Participating in UCARConnect.

The wiki is organized into the following sections:

• Information about the LAR Metadata Format
• How to Create Metadata Records (using either the Digital Cataloging System or your own method)
• How to Share your Metadata with UCARConnect
• Checklist of Information Needed to Submit your Collection to UCARConnect 

To learn more about the scope and aim of the catalog, please visit the Guiding documents and policies.
