  Labor costs, staff time
  Organizing, cataloging, consistent metadata
  Faculty loss of control
  Finding a software system to meet needs
  Image quality
  Creating sensible workflow to support ease of use
  Developing campus sense of need for DAM, ownership issues
  Metadata standards that are sufficient but not an obstacle
  Getting feature set suitable for faculty, students instead of museums
  Balancing centralized and decentralized collections
  Did we say metadata & costs yet?!
