By mid-semester, the students are introduced to the basics of the
CDM Project Client software in a hands-on lab. They upload a
sample image, are guided through the creation of a “Waterways of
New York” banner to be automatically inserted for future uploads,
and—following step-by-step directions—use the Template Creator
function to input recurring fields (e.g. Source, Digitization
Specifications, Digitization Team), and to enable CDM’s capacity
to automatically capture technical metadata such as Resource
Identifier, File Size, Format and Checksum fields.
