Managing digital assets, providing patron access and engagement, and ensuring digital preservation all provide unique challenges, particularly when collection managers must consider integration, information silos, and conditional requirements for their institution.
How have prominent libraries tackled these issues, and what did their journey look like?
Hosted by the Library Journal, join representatives from Montana State Library, the State of Arizona Research Library, and the University of Georgia’s Franklin College as they discuss how they navigated the challenges of consolidating their digital collection management systems into a single platform, how they prioritized their unique requirements, and the outcomes of their journey.
Key topics to be discussed include:
-
The challenges of disjointed systems
-
Prioritizing requirements
-
Overcoming transitional challenges and maximizing the success when migrating to a single platform
