MONTAGEdc Brochure - Auto

Every community, every place, has something unique to share with the world
Nowhere is this expression more evident than through the stories told by your archival collections. Unfortunately, these collections
are often hidden away in the physical archive of a back room, in a file cabinet, or locked inside antiquated software which is hard to
use and leaves much to be desired in terms of aesthetic quality.
Auto-Graphics believes you should not delay sharing these collections with users, regardless if they are inside or outside the local
community. We built simple to use tools which focus your efforts and allow you to build new collections or manage existing ones; and
provide a discovery tool built on today's standards for web delivery. A-G designed MONTAGEdc specifically so you can manage the
information and make it easily available to everyone. This, among a number of other key features, is why MONTAGEdc is different.
Create a unique logo and background
image (the user can change both the logo
and the blue background image).
Highlight specific
collections, with ease, on
your landing page.
A simple, single, searchbox to
query the full text of all
metadata fields in the system.
Let your patrons browse by topic, collections,
formats, and more in order to discover the full
latitude of your collections.
Use a simple Dublin Core metadata set
or design your own templates with
custom fields. MONTAGEdc
remembers the metadata you type
and uses it to make type-ahead
suggestions on subsequent records.
View digital content side by side with
your metadata entry to make entry
simpler and more fluid. Use an HTML
editor to enhance descriptive
information with custom content.
Fully scalable and compatible
with any device; No matter if
you are using a desktop,
laptop, tablet, or Smartphone.
A decade ago, it was enough to get your digital collections online and searchable for users. Nowadays, expectations for usability, user
experience, and aesthetic quality are at peak levels for everything on the web. The MONTAGEdc software provides librarians and
archivists with a unique digital collections management system. Elegant aesthetic design, superior search, filter and discovery
capabilities, advanced support for collections hierarchies, and all at an affordable price.
What librarians are saying about MONTAGEdc
MONTAGEdc is opening up access to
collections that are in demand by our
community. Some of the collections
are in fragile condition and we feel
compelled to preserve them.
MONTAGEdc will allow us to do that.
MONTAGEdc will give us the
opportunity to forge some
community collaborations that were
not possible before, such as with our
local historical museum and local
genealogical society.

The item metadata element
controls are amazing!
Enhancing item descriptions
with not just links and fonts,
but a host of web-oriented
content, gives people a
powerful new tool to help
interpret resources for
their customers.

MONTAGEdc is one of the most (if not THE
most) user friendly software we have found
after about a year of investigating digital
collections software. Our county is unique in
that we have several historical institutions
such as the Historical Commission, library
archives, and a Chambers County museum
for tourists. These 3 institutions combined
offer such a rich representation of our
county’s history and...
