Share special collections on the Web with easy-to-use CONTENTdmSaturday, June 26, 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. It’s easy to setup, manage and share digitized special collections worldwide using CONTENTdm and WorldCat. Learn more by hearing our special guest speakers, Edward Igelsias, Systems Librarian, Electronic Resources and Information Systems at Central Connecticut State University and Kevin Martin, Curator of Digital Collections at the Hagley Museum and Library, as they talk about their experiences with CONTENTdm and the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway. Audience: Prospective CONTENTdm users considering CONTENTdm or CONTENTdm “quick start” to manage and provide Web access to their digital collections. |
Improving discovery of your digital materialsSunday, June 27, 10:30 – 12:00 PM With OCLC’s Digital Collection Gateway, you can upload metadata of digitized collections from any OAI-compliant digital repository to WorldCat. Learn how library cooperation is creating a global union catalog of open-access digitized materials and how you can be a part of it. Additionally, Chaim Rosenberg, Director, and Yakov Shafranovich from the Society for the Preservation of Hebrew Books in New York will join us to talk about their experience with the Gateway. Audience: Any organization interested in promoting its digital collections and those interested in using the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway to upload their digital collection metadata to WorldCat. |
Many members of the CONTENTdm team will be available at ALA Annual to discuss your organization’s digital collection environment and plans. If you wish to set up a one-on-one meeting, send us an e-mail at contentdm@oclc.org. Otherwise, stop by the OCLC booth # 3717 to speak with a team member or to see ongoing CONTENTdm demonstrations.
For those of you unable to attend ALA, but interested in learning more about CONTENTdm, please feel free to e-mail us at contentdm@oclc.org.
