abstract: The Digital Lifecycle Management Interest Group (DLMIG) of the University System of Maryland and Associated Institutions (USMAI) formed in 2020 and provides a space for multi-institutional collaboration. The group is working toward a USMAI-wide digital lifecycle management strategy that will provide sustainable and scalable digital preservation and practices at consortium institutions of all sizes. This poster will share the group’s experiences and challenges thus far as a model for other consortia and collaborations.
