Workshop: IIIF & CONTENTdm Customization Workshop
The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), is an industry standard that is unleashing the ability for digital collections to be shared for research in innovative ways. Your OCLC CONTENTdm site includes IIIF Image and Presentation APIs so you can take advantage of new viewers and visualizations of your unique content or build one yourself! Come to this workshop to learn about IIIF and the impact it can have for your digital collections, and learn about the new customization framework for CONTENTdm, then take a deep dive trying out  IIIF in real time! Bring your laptop and work through adding a timeline exhibit to a CONTENTdm site (provided to you for the workshop) with guidance from Dave Collins, lead software architect for CONTENTdm, Jeff Mixter, software engineer in OCLC Research, and Shane Huddleston, the CONTENTdm Product Manager. 30 minute lecture/120 minute hands-on workshop.
