Adding a new hymnal
We allow trained volunteers to add hymnals to our site. The training involves reading through our wiki (www.hymnary.org/wiki) taking a self-graded quiz, and completing a training hymnal. The quiz and a link to receive a training hymnal can be found under "Training Materials for Editors" in the wiki. Typically the hymnal information is entered into one to three spreadsheets - a page spreadsheet for information on the hymnal pages, and scripture spreadsheet and a topic spreadsheet (the information can also be entered directly) The spreadsheets are uploaded, then the texts, tunes and people get connected into our database in a process called "authority resolution." A link to the blank spreadsheets may be found in the wiki under "Adding a Hymnal."
