- Today, we will present information about CONTENTdm, so you can move forward to build the collection that is right for you.
- CONTENTdm is a complete software solution, meaning it does not require additional programs to operate… here are some examples from our user community of the types of media and primary source materials contained in CONTENTdm collections.
- With CONTENTdm, institutions have been showcasing their image collections, including photographs, posters, postcards, maps and more.
- CONTENTdm provides access to PDF documents, journals, diaries, as well as hand-written documents, like the letter shown here. Here the user can view a “copy” of the original via the image on the left. On the right, the organization transcribed the letter so that the typed (ASCII) text is added to CONTENTdm so it can be indexed and searchable.
- One of the largest number of primary resources organizations deal with are newspapers –from their community, city, town, college, university and others. You can see here examples of how CONTENTdm supports the conversion of newspapers and then serves them up for greater access.
- You also can easily provide access to video and audio files using CONTENTdm.
- Review Hosting Services… Capacity: In general, your collections will probably reach the 3,000 item limit first. This is because CONTENTdm manages stored images very efficiently and you have no need to store the full resolution TIFF in CONTENTdm. You save that image, and you can even refer to the location in CONTENTdm. Now, your 3,000 items might be historic black and white photos, text pages of a yearbook, newspapers, dissertations, or full color versions of these items. Again – the actual utilization will depend on your items and your choices. ----------------------------------------------------- Here are some estimates: Type 1: Black/white photos, postcards, etc. (generally 8.5 X 11 or smaller) – 250KB/item/image/page Type 2: Black/white bitonal text pages of yearbooks, newspapers, books, dissertations, theses, etc. – 1.5 MB/item/image/page Type 3: Full color larger than 4x6 inches, yearbook color pages or similar publications, etc. – 2.5 MB/page
- Any questions about the material so far – such as the parameters of the “quick start” instance.
- Now let’s shift gears a little now and take a close look at how exactly you would use CONTENTdm to build digital collections.
- Hold on! What do I mean by “item”? If text is involved, and you want to make it searchable, CONTENTdm does that too.
- So how does it work? CONTENTdm is client – server based. CONTENTdm stores, indexes and displays your metadata and digital objects on the CONTENTdm Server. Public access to your digital items —including images, newspapers, documents, audio and video—is provided through standard Web browsers. CONTENTdm can store any file format and display any file format that can be viewed in a Web browser either natively or via a plug-in. This includes all common formats such as JPEG, GIF or TIFF images; WAV or MP3 audio; AVI or MPEG video; as well as PDFs and URLs. CONTENTdm also simplifies the process of entering descriptive and administrative metadata. Through the use of click-through dialogs (wizards), metadata templates and spreadsheet-type editors, you can easily create both simple and compound metadata records. Technical metadata can be automatically generated, and text constants applied. Quick technical facts are available at: http://www.oclc.org/services/brochures/12430contentdm_techfacts.pdf
- PC is the powerful way to do batch adds and complex editing ADD IS USEFUL FOR THE INFREQUENT AND NEW USER. Is useful to the WorldCat Connexion client user (a cataloger)
- All of you have this functionality, and it’s the easiest of all methods.
- When you decide you want to start adding large batches of simple items, or building structured compound objects, etc, you’ll want to investigate this powerful client.
- We’ll use the special collection that’s been configured just for you—to get you going easily on your own!
- As digitization has become mainstream, taken hold, no longer need to discuss why digitize. But now have new challenge – silos of information.
- Imagine being able to search 136 million digital items from one place like you can search bibliographic records with WorldCat.
- The Digital Collection Gateway provides users a self-service capability to synchronize their metadata with WorldCat to give their digital collections increased visibility to end-users. Staff use the Digital Collection Gateway to load digital collection metadata to WorldCat and in doing so create profiles for their digital collection metadata to be regularly harvested, uploaded, and converted to WorldCat format. In return for uploading WorldCat assigns and returns an OCLC number which can be embedded in the digital collection metadata to support future synchronizations. End-users can search, discover, and retrieve digital content from WorldCat (and its syndicates) in conjunction with the wide variety of other assets available.
