pre-meeting activity on Wednesday, June 3. Two different workshops will be
offered:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>CONTENTdm Basic User Instruction using 5.0</STRONG>,
a workshop appropriate for organizations new to CONTENTdm, or for those who wish
to preview the software, will include hands-on exercises and cover: creating
collections, using the compound document wizard, metadata and controlled
vocabulary implementation, and maintaining collections with batch replacement of
objects. </FONT></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>This training will be led by OCLC Western staff.
</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>CONTENTdm 5.0 Update</STRONG> will be presented as a
second training opportunity. This training will cover both a functional overview
of the software and a look at some common tasks and workflows using the all new
Project Client. Included will be how to streamline and optimize data entry with
metadata templates that are customizable by file type. Use of the new editing
function called “Find in Collection” will be demonstrated, as will working with
EAD finding aids. </FONT></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>This training will be led by OCLC staff.
</FONT></STRONG></P>
