The Evolving Repository Landscape: Identifying Motivations for Library DAMS Migration

The presentation will highlight results from a survey that traces institutions’ motivations for migrating from one DAMS to another. It will discuss themes and features desired in future DAMS, outlining specific topical areas that will inform future system and work flow development, as well as governing body/vendor relations. The presentation will also discuss preliminary reflections on the comparison between initial system selection and requirements for selecting and migrating to a new system. Researchers will conclude the presentation by reviewing lessons learned from the research methodology as well as discussing future areas of research related to this study.
