Note: This wiki describes the use of LIBSAFE Go at Emory University Libraries. For more general information about the system, see LIBNOVA’s LIBSAFE Go documentation.
Getting Started
Please contact a LIBSAFE Go administrator to have a user account created in LIBSAFE Go. Login to the system is based on Emory SSO.
If multiple users from your library will need to manage content within your library’s node, please send the names and emails of each user to the LIBSAFE administrator.
LIBSAFE Go Administrators:
Kathryn Michaelis (Digital Preservation Program Manager): kmicha3 [at] emory [dot] edu
Katherine Fisher (Head of Digital Archives, Rose Library): katherine.e.fisher [at] emory [dot] edu
The first time a new user attempts to log in with Emory credentials, they will see a notice stating that an administrator must activate their account. The user should copy the identifier URL in the pop-up box and send it to an admin (Kathryn Michaelis or Katherine Fisher) to have their account configured, after which they can log in normally with Emory SSO.
Once you’ve been set up as a user, go to https://go.emory.libnova.com/ to login. Select “Sign in with your identity provider.”
You should then see a link labeled Emory University, which will take you to SSO.
Organizing Your Content
Content in LIBSAFE Go is organized hierarchically. The highest level of organization in LIBSAFE Go is a node. When you are added as a user, you will either be added to an existing node or have a node created for your library. Nodes can have subnodes, which correspond to collections, record series, or divisions within a library. Each library should determine how it makes sense to organize subnodes within their node.
