This is an ever-expanding cookbook of example customizations. You can use these recipes directly in your CONTENTdm (classic version) website, or review and adapt them as you see fit.

We are actively gathering additional recipes to add to this section. If you have a customization that you would like to contribute, please contact OCLC Support. 

The CONTENTdm (classic version) Cookbook Demo Site demonstrates the end results of the recipes as they are applied to a site. Use the Recipe Portal page as a centralized location to easily learn about, view, or download the latest version of the recipes.

 View a recording:  CONTENTdm (classic version) Community Insight Series: Customization in CONTENTdm (classic version). See event announcement (sign-in required) for more information. Also see CONTENTdm (classic version) training for related training videos.

Cookbook recipes are updated as CONTENTdm (classic version) changes or as bugs are reported and fixed. Return frequently to see if there are updates for the recipe(s) you are using.
