The Millard Sheets Library at Otis College of Art & Design
is pleased to announce the launch of the new Digital Collection Management
System
for Otis' images and collections.

Background:
This project began and was funded by grants from the Getty and represents
the culmination of more than 4 years of work by Library staff in cataloging
and digitizing the Artists' Books Collection. Throughout both the planning
and implementation phase, we searched for and tested several systems-always
with a goal of finding software that would be useful for other Otis
departments as well as the Library. ContentDM is now fully installed,
tested, and configured on new robust web server. We join a community of many
colleges and universities who make their collections available to the public
through the web. Other examples are here:

Current Otis Collections
* Artists' Books -approximately 8,000 images of 2,000 books
* Otis Lab Press-250 books created by students over the last 20 years
* Otis Archives-1,200 images of our history
* Faculty Gallery-sample collection to be expanded this semester
* Student Work- sample collection
* Ben Maltz Gallery-sample collection
The Future
Now that the work of testing, installing, and configuring software is
finished, we can now focus on growing each of these collections in
collaboration with other campus departments.
Comments and questions are welcome.
