Selecting and implementing an automated system to manage your institution’s digital collection must be done with consideration. A new digital collection management system is a major investment, one that your library may use for a long time. A system that meets the needs of your digital collection, takes user needs into account, and allows for growth is needed to succeed. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the issues to consider and questions to ask in evaluating digital collection management systems, and we’ll examine some related goals, costs and implementation issues.
