Multi-Site Server

Collaborate and build group collections

Use the CONTENTdm Multi-Site Server to collaborate with other organizations to create extraordinary digital collections. The Multi-Site Server enables end users to query multiple CONTENTdm Servers from a single search interface.

If you want to create and maintain your own local collections and at the same time provide a wider range of end users with seamless searching across digital collections on multiple CONTENTdm servers, the Multi-Site Server is a valuable tool.

You build and maintain local CONTENTdm collections as usual and Multi-Site Server Administrators simply designate which collections will be indexed by the Multi-Site Server. The index refresh rate is easily scripted so that it occurs automatically at a specified time.

Distributed by design, the Multi-Site Server helps you share the workload

  • Aggregate metadata from multiple CONTENTdm servers with the Multi-Site Server
  • Allow or restrict collection and item-level access according to your policies defined within your own collections
  • Create custom search interfaces to access multiple collections and repurpose holdings for varied audiences

The Multi-Site Server is sold separately from the CONTENTdm Digital Collection Management Software.
