Session Evaluation
We all know that digital asset management (DAM) is an important issue and would like to do more with it. But it is a hard topic to address. How do you get started? Is it really important? How do we pay for it? For the past few years PALS has worked with the Islandora open source solution and built a community of five partners in Minnesota. They are Southwest Minnesota State University, Minnesota State University-Mankato, Winona State University, College of St. Scholastica, and St. Cloud Technical and Community College. Through our work we have learned of various ways to start your DAM initiative, build support for it, and pay for it. This presentation will provide you with strategies on how to start DAM, gain support, and pay for DAM. Our goal for this session is to help make it easier to get started on your DAM work. No DAM experience required.
