Abstract: In 2017, the William H. Hannon Library at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) used a locally hosted licence of CONTENTdm for managing its digital collections. Then LMU was informed that CONTENTdm would no longer be supporting locally hosted instances of CONTENTdm. The Systems & Digital Initiatives (S&DI) department took this change as an opportunity to assess a range of digital asset management systems. After an initial assessment period and review of several product options S&DI decided to self-migrate the library’s content to Adam Matthew’s new platform, Quartex. This paper describes LMU’s assessment of digital asset management systems and the process of self-migration, and highlights the challenges associated with self-migration for early adopters of a platform.
