CONTENTdm
OCLC is setting the standard for powerful, cost-effective technologies for preserving, archiving, and accessing digital assets. We listen to our users and information professionals and continually apply the latest technology to our products to meet their needs.
CONTENTdm Digital Collection Management Software
CONTENTdm is a single software solution that consists of three main elements:
- The Acquisition Station where data and images are imported or added
- The CONTENTdm Server where data and images are stored
- The customizable Web-based search client
CONTENTdm enables collection owners to organize and manage their digital assets and provides easy Web access to collections. Optimized for speedy delivery of exceptionally large datasets, CONTENTdm is scalable for any size collection, whether you're managing 500 or 5,000,000 items.
CONTENTdm also provides full search support for Latin-1 foreign character sets so that collection owners can enter, store, display, and search international characters in metadata fields.
The software is Z39.50 compatible, and provides unparalleled visibility for digital collections by offering support for OAI harvesting and the ability for libraries to automatically add collections to WorldCat, the world's largest bibliographic database.
CONTENTdm provides tools for each stage of the collection building process and when your collection is ready for viewing, CONTENTdm offers a flexible and customizable Web-based search interface.

How CONTENTdm Works
Collections reside on a CONTENTdm Server. Media items can be added and managed from anywhere using our Acquisition Station software, which can be installed on as many as 50 different workstations for collaborative work or collections can be managed remotely over the Web. The database is searched over the Web using standard Web browsers by any number of users unless you choose to restrict access.
For organizations seeking opportunities for broader collaboration in developing and sharing digital collections, DiMeMa offers the Multi-Site Server for cross collection searching on multiple servers. See our Multi-Site Server pages for more information.
