Overview

CONTENTdm is a single software solution that handles the storage, management and delivery of your library’s digital collections to the Web by providing you with:

• A Windows-based, digital collection builder where data and digital items are prepared in large batches
• A server where data and images are stored and can be edited
• A Web-based search interface and customizable display templates
• A self-service tool to upload the metadata of your digital content to WorldCat using the Digital Collection Gateway
• Integration with OCLC products for building collections with cataloging workflows, as well as the option of harvesting from the Web sites and adding long-term preservation
• Services to assist with every phase of collection development from digitization to preservation

How CONTENTdm works

Your digital collections reside on a CONTENTdm Server, either installed locally or on an OCLC-hosted server. Digital items can be added from anywhere using the CONTENTdm Project Client which can be distributed among staff and collaborating partners through the Connexion client using Connexion digital import, or through a Web browser using a simple Web form. Additionally, collections can be managed remotely over the Web.

Your digital collections can be searched via the Web using standard Web browsers by any number of end users, unless you choose to restrict access. With its ability to handle any file type, CONTENTdm can serve as an institutional repository to bring collections together into a cohesive and accessible Web-based environment. For organizations seeking opportunities for broader collaboration in developing and sharing collections, the Multi-Site Server is an option for cross-collection searching on multiple servers.
