What factors should we consider when deciding whether to use CARLIs CONTENTdm server or to run our own copy of CONTENTdm locally?
Using CARLI’s server allows you to focus your attention on identifying and creating your digital content, and leaves the infrastructure planning and maintenance to CARLI. There may be other local considerations (e.g., staffing, cost, server space, joint projects with non-CARLI member institutions etc.) that make one model preferable to the other for your library.
