These wiki pages are for sharing local library documentation, guides, etc. developed for working with CONTENTdm. Please feel free to share any local documentation you have created, including a brief summary of the document in text on this page. Thank you!
As you use these resources shared by other libraries, keep in mind that they are developed for local procedures that may be very specific to an individual library, so they may not be exactly right for your library. They are provided here as resources to aid you in developing your own local documentation and procedures.
To upload your own documents to this public wiki, please follow these guidelines: How to Upload a File to the CARLI Wiki
