Other Document 

Other Document is a catch-all category for objects that don’t fall into the other categories.

Documents are uploaded as PDF, ePub, JPG, PNG or GIF files (GIF and PNG images will be converted to JPG).

Contributor Info Tab

To add a contributor to your piece of content, click the green  button. You can continue clicking this button to add as many contributors as are necessary. Contributors can be authors, illustrators, editors, etc. For scanned books added using the Search panel, Creator will generate a list of contributors. Sometimes, there are extraneous names in this tab, such as the name of a book’s printer or the name of its former owner. Delete these entries.

Info

Here is where you enter the name of the contributor. First, choose the type from the options "person" and "corporation." Then, choose the role they played from our list of available options. If the contributor is a corporation, and this can refer to a company or any type of cohesive group, enter the name of that corporation. If the contributor is a person, enter the first, middle last name in the respective fields. Many ancient writers went by a single name, such as “Socrates” or “Plato.” In these cases, enter the author’s name in the Last Name field. Do not enter the author’s name in the First Name field. If an author is “Unknown” or “Anonymous,” select the "Anonymous Contributor" button and it will be entered in the Last Name field. 

...

The Bio tab can be used to enter a short biography of the person or corporation who created the object. This is not a required field. When you are satisfied with the information entered in Info and Bio, click the "OK" button to add this name to your list.
