CONTENTdm

Here is where we publish our instructional manuals and documentation on using CONTENTdm alone or in concert with the Innovative Interfaces Sierra software, Open Refine, and MarcEdit.

Version info, updated 2 March, 2019:

  • We are hosted by OCLC on a CONTENTdm server version 7.x ("responsive")
  • We are using the CONTENTdm Project Client
  • For interested Innovative/Sierra libraries, we are on Release 4.0.

Almost all CONTENTdm collections adhere to the "Metadata and Best Practices / Data Dictionary" document embedded below. You are welcome to download a Microsoft Word or PDF version of the table.

Feel free to contact Dan [dot] Lipcan [at] metmuseum [dot] org with questions.
