CONTENTdm Project Client 7.0.77.0, released by OCLC Inc., is a specialized digital-asset management utility designed for librarians, archivists, and museum curators who populate CONTENTdm-based digital collections. The single-version application streamlines the ingest process by allowing bulk addition of digital items through tab-delimited text files, while its spreadsheet-style metadata editor supports rapid, field-level corrections without leaving the interface. Users can assemble complex Compound Objects—such as multi-page manuscripts or layered photographs—drag-and-drop preview derivatives, and invoke integrated OCR engines to generate searchable full-text, all within one project workspace. Projects act as discrete pipelines: each binds to exactly one collection, yet multiple projects can target the same collection so that separate media types (images, PDFs, audio) can be processed under tailored templates and approval rules. After metadata and files are validated locally, batches are uploaded to the CONTENTdm Server’s pending queue, where an administrator reviews, approves, and finally triggers an index rebuild so end-users can discover newly published materials. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always supplying the latest build and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
