Institutions have often turned to locally supported systems to manage digital collections, drawn to their flexibility and community-driven roots.

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.
