Session Abstract
Resource constraints and evolving user demands are changing how cultural heritage institutions operate. To survive and thrive, repositories are increasingly turning to collaborative digital infrastructure. This webinar provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the strategic, technical, and social frameworks of shared collection models. From simple shared databases to large-scale, consortium-led discovery portals, weā€™ll analyze the variety of Collections Management System (CMS) sharing models available today. Whether you aim to lower IT overhead, afford an upgraded CMS, or accelerate online audience growth, this session delivers a practical roadmap to move your institution from isolated operation to interconnected collection success.
