For most academic libraries, archives and museums, digital content
management is increasingly occurring on a holistic enterprise
level. As most institutions contemplate an enterprise digital
content strategy for a growing number of digitized surrogates and
born-digital assets, libraries, archives, and museums understand
that these expanding needs can only be met by more flexible
approaches offered by a multicomponent digital asset management
ecosystem (DAME). Increasingly, librarians, archivists, and
curators are managing an integrated digital ecosystem by
coordinating and complementing a number of existing and emerging
initiatives. This guide provides a high-level overview and offers a
conceptual framework for understanding a digital asset management
ecosystem with discussions on digital collection typologies and
assessment, planning and prioritization, the importance of a
community of practice through associated workflows, and an
understanding of the critical role that foresight planning plays in
balancing an evolving infrastructure and expanding digital content
with creative cost modeling and sustainability strategies.
Borrowing from the principles of data curation, integrative
collection building requires an understanding of the library's
"digital ecosystem" of licensed content, digitized material, and
born-digital content in order to ensure strategic growth of
institutional collections in the context of long-term holistic
collection management plans. Key elements discussed in this book
include: -the importance of digital collection assessment,
analysis, and prioritization, -the realignment of accession and
appraisal methodologies for efficient digital content acquisition,
-the need to think holistically relating to tool selection and
infrastructure development to ensure interoperability, scalability,
and sustainability of a universe of digital assets, -the creation
of cross-functional workflows in accordance with policies and
plans, -the importance of advocating for growing resources needed
for managing, descriptive, administrative, technical, rights and
preservation metadata across the institution, and -the significance
of distributed digital preservation models with a growing array of
associated options for cloud storage.
