A trial of Callimachus was conceived of in order to let SCELC libraries experiment with CONTENTdm before fully committing to the purchase of a license.
If after three months, a library chooses not to continue with Callimachus and purchase a license, the collection will be unpublished and no longer accessible to the library or the public. The collection could potentially be migrated to an institution’s own CONTENTdm license at the institution’s cost.
To move to a full license after the trial is over, an order form must be returned to SCELC and the normal procedures for joining Callimachus will begin. The collection that was created during the trial may remain published. New collections can be created and customizations to the style of the collections will be allowed. Also, a custom portal into an institution’s collections may be created.
Support will be given to help get trial users working with the system either by SCELC or by OCLC, depending on the nature of the issue.
