U of U CDM Knowledge Base• University of Utah libraries share a CONTENTdm server

– work hard to communicate and collaborate in the use of this mission critical tool.

• A “CDM Core Group” serves to facilitate communication with monthly face-to-face meetings– composed of members from each campus library

• CDM Core uses a wiki, TWiki, as a “Knowledge Base” to collect documentation on the use of CDM– project information, upgrade information, issues and group

meeting agenda and minutes are collected here

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH LIBRARIES

U of U CDM Knowledge Base• Review the CDM Core Twiki

– http://library.med.utah.edu/twiki/bin/view/CDMCore/

• Invite other Western CDM User Group members to participate in the building of a shared documentation resource
