ORGANIZER/PRESENTER:- Sarah Pham, Digital Assets Specialist, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
This session begins with Sarah Pham (Digital Assets Specialist) from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art detailing factors in the management of a locally-hosted DAMS, including how the varying roles of stakeholders are balanced as well as the challenges influencing workflows and DAMS end users. For instance, who is best suited to interface with the software vendor? Are administrators the prime point of contact? How do they best facilitate collaboration between the vendor and IT staff while prioritizing users needs and expectations? The second part of this session will be a facilitated conversation where attendees are encouraged to participate in an informal discussion; topics can range from the challenges and highlights of working with digital assets to addressing users needs as administrators or the steps involved in implementing a DAMS. This can be an opportunity for attendees to connect with fellow practitioners to talk about where they may be with their DAMS and as a group work through some solutions or ideas to best serve users and administrative needs.
(This is an updated hybrid presentation/discussion formerly a panel comparing instances of local versus cloud-hosted DAMS.)
