What's OHMS?

OHMS, the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer, is an application used to assist with transcription and indexing tasks for oral history recordings. For more information about OHMS, see the OHMS website. OHMS can use a variety of different media sources for audio and video playback, including Avalon.

If You Use Permalinks

Avalon can be configured to create permalinks for items when the Publish action is initiated. If your Avalon instance is configured to use permalinks, follow the additional step below:

Set the Avalon Target Domain field to the URL of your Avalon instance. For example, if the URL for your permalink is https://purl.dlib.indiana.edu/iudl/media/k81j52xp9j/embed, and your Avalon instance URL is https://media.dlib.indiana.edu, and enter 'https://media.dlib.indiana.edu' into the Avalon Target Domain field.
