Go to CiviMember and you see the following text:

CiviMember

CiviMember allows you to create customized membership types as well as page(s) for online membership sign-up and renewal. Administrators can create or modify Membership Types here, and configure Online Contribution Pages which include membership sign-up here.

You can also input and track membership sign-ups offline. To record memberships manually for individual contacts, use Find Contacts to locate the contact. Then click View to go to their summary page and click on the New Membership link. You can also import batches of membership records from other sources. Refer to the CiviMember Guide for more information.

Clicking on the CiviMember Guide goes to a defunct page. I think it should go herehttp://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviMember+Admin
