Institutions have often turned to locally supported systems to manage digital collections, drawn to their flexibility and community-driven roots. Yet as staffing capacity shifts and technical upkeep becomes more demanding, many libraries and archives are rethinking what sustainability looks like at scale. In this webinar, Zachary Johnson (Vanderbilt University) and Michael Fitzgerald (University of the District of Columbia) share how they transitioned from in-house systems to JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services, offering insights into infrastructure, decision-making, and team impact.

Many libraries and archives rely on digital collection platforms that once served them well but now feel misaligned with evolving priorities like adaptable workflows, actionable analytics, and sustainable access.

Their reflections offer practical insights for leaders managing digital collections, metadata, and discovery.
