  1. We have a large collection catalog that we just imported into Omeka using the CSV Import plugin. That worked out well.

    However, each item is already associated with a contributor, each of whom already has an existing username, password, and other profile information within our current system.

    What is the best way to import the whole lot of our users (and their associated information) into Omeka at once? Is there something akin to the CSV Import plugin that can import users instead of items? Is importing the users directly into the database the only way to achieve this?

    Thanks!

  2. You can import their names in your CSV file, and map that to the contributor field. You cannot, however, import their user names and passwords to work with Omeka. You will have create new users for each of them if you wish for them to be Omeka users.
