The
Millard Sheets Library at
is
pleased to announce the launch of the new Digital Collection Management System
for
Otis’ images and collections.
See it here: http://content.library.otis.edu/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: http://www.contentdm.com/customers/index.html
Current Otis Collections
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.
