What is the CONTENTdm Acquisition Station, and how many do we need?

It allows you to associate metadata to digital objects (files), group the objects and metadata into a collection, and upload the collection to the CARLI server. You will need at least one Acquisition Station. Please note that the Acquisition Station does not scan or create the digital objects, nor does it store the digital master files.
