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.
