DAM for Galleries Libraries, Archives & Museums
Wednesday 13 March 2024
Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums are facing the same digital transformation and COVID challenges as other government and private organisations around the globe. They need to answer the question, 'do we place digital services at our core or continue to view them as a peripheral function?'. From a user and relevance perspective, this is no longer a question; online and digital access to collections and content is essential.

The role of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums in the digital environment
Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums have a unified goal; they all want to preserve the integrity and fidelity of the digital collections entrusted with and built. Few solutions understand the weight of this responsibility more than Lookatme™, and even fewer have provided a Digital Asset Management solution designed to meet the sector's goals.
SPECTRUM, AGLS and RAD
Lookatme™ Digital Asset Management solutions were designed for the GLAM environment, allowing clients to use accepted industry metadata schemas and advanced collaboration, approval, and reporting features to breathe life and purpose into collections.
How to manage access to your digital collections and archives
Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums have unique needs and responsibilities in managing their digital collections. Some assets may need to be readily available. Yet others need controlled and secure access. Assets themselves need to be curated using accepted industry metadata schemas such as SPECTRUM, AGLS and RAD. Some collections may be freely available, whereas others need to be monetised with royalty-based reproduction or advertising revenue.
Lookatme™ can manage every aspect of this process with a specialised Digital Asset Management solution built in collaboration with the GLAM sector.
The role of Lookatme™ in the GLAM sector
Lookatme™ has worked closely with the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums for more than a decade, providing what is widely considered to be the Digital Asset Management solution with the highest user acceptance in the sector. Working with an organisation such as Museums Victoria, Copyright Agency Limited, Transport for NSW Historical Archive, Fred Williams Estate, Universal Images Group and other Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums around the globe, Lookatme™ has built an exceptional understanding of the needs and goals of the sector.
The power of visual narratives
Few forms of communication can elicit such emotional solid responses as quickly as visual storytelling. Lookatme™ was designed to empower your people to create more compelling and accurate visual narratives.
Innovations that drive digital transformation
This knowledge has been a cornerstone in the evolution of the Lookatme™ DAM. It continues to drive innovations that allow clients to develop ecosystems that improve access across channels and touchpoints while providing more outstanding tracking and management capabilities. Recent developments now allow multiple opportunities to monetise collections directly through the Lookatme™ DAM.
Archive Collection Management Systems
Lookatme™ is a Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) specified by RLG/OCLC that can be integrated with Archive Collection Management Systems (ACMS) such as Axiell, EMu and Vernon.
Customer and stakeholder management
One of the features of Lookatme™ is its ability to integrate seamlessly with CRM and many EDM solutions such as Salesforce, Mailchimp, Mail Monitor, and Zoho.
More secure than a glass case
COVID 19 created challenges for the GLAM sector; however, it also saw innovation. Online and other ways of sharing collections are now commonplace. Lookatme™ is the ideal future-proofing solution that helps Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums operate more effectively and efficiently in both virtual and physical environments.
