Migrating Digital Collections

Abstract

Locally digitized collections have been around long enough that they may need to move to new interfaces and be reshaped for today's technology. In addition, many collections were originally built outside the library and must migrate into a more controlled environment; migration needs to be carefully thought through so that nothing is lost in the process. This presentation will cover the experiences of staff at The University of Iowa Libraries moving several collections to asset management systems.
