The Dataverse Network Project

You can create a collection as a link to one or more collections from other dataverses, thereby defining your own collections for users to browse in your dataverse.

Note: A collection created as a link to a collection from another dataverse is editable only in the originating dataverse. Also, collections created by use of this option might not adhere to the policies for adding Cataloging Information and study files that you require in your own dataverse.

To create a collection as a link to another collection:

1. Navigate to your dataverse homepage.
2. Click My Options, scroll to Curator options, and then click Manage Collections.
   You see the Manage Collections page.
3. Click Add Collection Link.
   You see the Add Collection Link window.
4. Select a collection from another (public) dataverse that you choose to add your dataverse.
   The collection you select will be displayed in your dataverse homepage, and will be included in your dataverse searches.
5. Click Save to keep your changes or Cancel to lose your changes.
   The new collection is now listed in your dataverse.
