The Marriott Library's working group focuses on evaluating Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS) through an extensive review process. This includes analyzing peer institutions, particularly within the PAC12, and surveying users to understand their needs. Stakeholder analysis ensures all relevant parties are considered in defining the requirements criteria. The group will test selected systems in a sandbox environment, assess hardware/software needs, and finalize a list of ten platforms based on a baseline scoring rubric. This evaluation combines cost-benefit analysis to ensure a thorough assessment aligned with user requirements across diverse formats in digital libraries.
