With the expansion of business needs, Digital Asset Management (DAM) is increasingly developing. In the early days of DAM, it was an independent application module established by various departments according to their own needs. With the emergence of new media, broadcast media has broken through the traditional model, showing new trends such as digitization, service modernization and platform diversification. In the context of media convergence, a large number of digital assets are created every single day (Prihandoko & Antonius, 2015). Therefore, the need for effective DAM becomes increasingly evident in a range of domains, such as broadcast media. Most broadcast stations have experienced decades of development and they have accumulated a large amount of audio and video information, specifically, many of them are valuable historical assets. The effective preservation, management, and use of this information require DAM.

The concept of aligning and managing digital assets is a reaction to the evolution of digital production and digital networks. The understanding of this evolution is rooted in experiences in library and museum communities, the digital solutions and design disciplines, the communications and entertainment industries, and law. Aligning and managing digital assets is predicated upon the notion that everything that can communicate will and, in a sense, begins to approach what neuroscience has been telling us for quite some time — that everything actually does communicate in some way or other. There are a number of levels of digital assets. Digital assets are created and maintained in support systems architecture, in digital production tools, in digital content development, in taxonomy development, in user destination designs, in audience interactions, and in legal monitoring. Being digital means everything can be accounted for, everything can communicate, everything has value, and everything can last. Acquiring, merging, or divesting a digital enterprise requires comprehensive digital asset management at every level.

This chapter focuses on the changes in integrated library systems (ILS) over the past thirty years as the focus shifts from collecting physical items to electronic and digital materials. The relationship between the ILS and new specialized applications, including link resolvers, knowledge bases of e-content, electronic resource management systems, digital asset management systems, discovery services, and institutional repository platforms is discussed and placed in context. In addition to looking at workflows with these new systems, a general discussion of how academic libraries are likely to engage with these new systems, the time frames in which we can expect availability and widespread adoption, and any cautions or concerns to have in mind when selecting or implementing these systems.
