I'm assuming we are all in the same boat when it comes to storing, backing up, and archiving our digital assets. What are people using nowadays to keep all their digital files, whether it be photos, videos, or web assets? How do you keep it organized and available to the whole team?

Right now we're using a shared network drive, but looking to move to a software solution. Checking out Widen, WebDAM, and some Adobe products as well.

I'd put my vote on Resourcespace too, I've got an installation with just shy of 500,000 images and I'm about to do another install at a second university. 

I am also going to test Resourcespace, and probably a few others. I would love any current resourcespace users to add to this thread with any handy tips and tricks or recommendations for other DAM solutions.

We are in the process of signing on with WebDAM- will keep you posted on our experience!

If anyone would like to play around with ResourceSpace, I can give you admin credentials on my test server at http://www.ivorypenguin.com/resourcespace If you just go to the site I have it setup to use an anonymous user with the default permissions.

I have figured out that it's a lot nicer to write plugins for everything that you want to change and then you can still upgrade to the new versions as they come out. We even have an SVSU plugin that tweaks parts of it like the logo. 

Thanks Aaron, as it happens I have also just set up a resourcespace test environment for our team. Sarah, I look forward to hearing about WebDAM. It looked pretty good to me.

Office Reservation software

I've been tasked with finding a software tool that helps manage the onboarding and exit process of new and departing faculty. Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources. This tool should have notifications and alerts so there are no conflicts with someone being removed from a office and someone being placed in a office. Does anyone…See More
