What is CONTENTdm?, cont.
10/30/2006 Ira Revels 21
Why CONTENTdm?
Collection management and access is a major issue for HBCUs
We needed to identify a product that would facilitate the individual needs of the institutions involved, yet offer a common platform that facilitated collection-building in a fairly short period of time.
10/30/2006 Ira Revels 22
Why CONTENTdm?, cont.
Affordable Could be quickly set up and easy to use,
intuitive user interface Could be used by more than one institution (a
true collaborative tool) Facilitated the creation and use of common
vocabularies Scalable Supports Common Standards
10/30/2006 Ira Revels 23
Next Steps
Create a customized interface for the collection
Add language on use and access to collection of HBCU images and metadata
Select 10 new project participants Submit grant for Project 2 to begin in April
