A Guide for Users of OCLC’s CONTENTdm

To support community partners of New Mexico Digital Collections, I created a comprehensive guide that includes information and instructions specific to the NMDC installation, as well as links to training and information resources from OCLC. This guide was a central location for NMDC community partners — libraries, archives, and museums across the state — to learn how to manage and use the platform to share their digitized content. I built it using the LibGuides CMS, part of the LibApps suite from Springshare. Below is the content I created.

(I no longer manage the live version of this guide.)
