The DIY Option
Possible for small collections, ‘quick and dirty’ solutions, no-budget situations
Some photo-sharing software quite powerful, easy to manipulate

Picasa
Easy to import, add tags/titles, export to web, share publicly
Good browse but little search functionalityStores metadata in image header, but
requires data file on disc where Picasa is installed. Take care when re-installing or moving computers or data can be lost
E.g. Oxford’s Flora Graeca

LMSIntegrated library management systems
may include image management modulesUnlikely to be main reason for LMS choice;
therefore may not be ideal solution for particular collections
Ease of integration of search and metadata with catalogue; may increase user awareness and image collection use
Trend to disaggregation of productsRough Guide to Image ManagementCILIP, 31 March 2010

Selection
See http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/crossmedia/advice/systems-for-managing-digital-media-collections

JISC reviews give some basis for comparison, and ideas of what is possible

Storing stuff
Storage and preservation:
short and long-term issues

Digital Data Death
Digital data has a short lifespanCarriers become obsolete or physically
degradeAll digital archives must be regularly
refreshed and transported to new mediaThis is not cheap!Cf the BBC Domesday DisasterAnd the Betamax/VHS war

Who cares for your data?
Major institutions will have own IT depts to archive
May entail SLA’s and other formal responsibilities and costs
May or may not understand more of the issues than you do
Keeping it ‘in the library’ generates its own headaches

DAMS
Digital Asset Management Systems can be used for images alone, or all digital data archiving
Can be large-scale and expensiveMay provide long-term data securityUsually need specialised software
developers to set up and maintainGood communications essential
