Abstract
Locally digitized collections have now been around long enough that they may need to move to new interfaces and be reshaped for today?s technology. In addition, many collections are originally built outside the library and need to migrate into a more controlled environment. Migrating such content needs to be carefully thought through so that nothing is lost in the process. This presentation will cover the experiences of staff at the University of Iowa Libraries moving several collections to asset management systems.
