OCLC announced the latest release of CONTENTdm, its digital collection
management software for libraries and other cultural heritage

close consultation with CONTENTdm user groups and features increased
security and other enhancements.
CONTENTdm software offers a complete set of tools to store, manage, and
deliver digital collections?such as historical documents, photos,
newspapers, audio, and video?on the Web. Newest features include:
� Fast multiple document entry
� Increased security for items and collections to better protect
copyrighted or other restricted materials
� Detailed reports that show how online items and collections are
being used
� Additional digital repository features

CONTENTdm is distributed by OCLC Online Computer Library Center, the
world?s largest library cooperative. Metadata for many of these digital
collections is being added to the WorldCat database of items held in
libraries. Once in WorldCat, special collection items can be found by
searching the database or searching the Web. Items in WorldCat can now be
discovered through search engines like Google and Yahoo! Search as part of
the OCLC Open WorldCat program.
