*Apologies for cross posting Call for Presenters: Practicing Digital Asset Management (DAM): Various Approaches
For t he [ http://vraweb.org/ | Visual Resources Association ] ’s 36th Annual Conference, to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Tuesday , March 27th , through Friday, March 30 , 2018, in the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, I am proposing a session on Digital Asset Management (DAM). Session Description (draft): Digital asset management (DAM) refers to the process of collecting, cataloging, delivering, and preserving digital assets, while digital asset management systems (DAMS) provide users with a central location to search, locate, access, and share those assets in an easy and efficient way. In addition to providing an introduction to the basics of DAM, this session will also focus on its practice within the corporate, cultural heritage, and higher education sectors. Panelists representing these diverse fields will share their stories, enabling us to discover commonalities as well as unique needs. Whether you are looking into your first DAM system or rethinking an existing system’s current potential, this session will offer concrete examples of individual experiences and lessons learned. Panelists will discuss how they approached technical and staff resourcing, budgeting, metadata and file migration, and integrating the DAMS with other platforms. Format: 90-minute moderated session with 3 to 4 speakers at 15 to 20 minutes each followed by a facilitated brief question and answer period. As indicated in the description, I am specifically looking for panelists who can discuss the practice of DAM from the corporate, cultural heritage, or higher education sectors. To express interest in presenting, please contact Carolyn Lucarelli at c...@psu.edu , with an overview of your idea, by Friday, July 21 . (Apologies for the short timeline, but the VRA Conference proposal deadline is July 28 , 2017.) Thank you!
