Thanks to everyone who responded, much appreciated, and I appreciate the point towards the documents, and other IR questions. My apologies if this is old hat.

That link didn't work for me but this one did:

Weird because this link looks almost identical to yours. Probably a small
change somewhere or in how my email client botched it up.

Hi Steven,
As I recall, this evaluation matrix was posted to the list awhile back - I
think by Ashley Blewer?? Although focused more on IRs, it's pretty
comprehensive, and I think asks some good questions: https://docs.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi Steven,
Even if you've been unable to identify a survey of the type you seek,
many
institutions trying to decide on a system build matrices to compare and
contrast systems they consider viable so you might be able to obtain a
few
of those directly from institutions that have gone through that process.
Having said that, this is a heavyweight process that doesn't necessarily
lead to superior results. What makes a system work is that it's designed
to
do what you need with the people and resources you h. Each DAM/repository
is at its core best suited for something -- publishing platform, create
exhibitions, community contributed research, manage multimedia, centrally
managed images, records management system, etc. Likewise, each has built
in
assumptions of how staff, users, and other systems interact with it.
Don't be afraid to look outside the library world for solutions. All
kinds
of industries have significant assets to manage and there are many
options,
some of which may work much better than the usual suspects.

Hi everyone - At The University of Alabama Libraries, we are currently
in
the discussion phase of considering a new Digital Asset Management
System.
Therefore, we are curious what other institutions use, and perhaps
their
reasoning, and / or satisfaction with that tool. Also, if you’d like to
indicate public/private, it’d be appreciated. Answer as much or as
little
as you like, I do not want to be a burden on already busy schedules and
workdays - if you want to just tell me the tool then that would be more
than enough info. I’m reading lots of articles on the topic at the
moment,
and I haven’t seem much in terms of a comprehensive survey of
institutions
and the tools they use, but lots of ‘a building body of evidence
indicates
such-and such’ - I’d like to try and see more accurately what folks are
using.
Thank you so much in advance, if you care to participate.
Steven Turner.
