  I review the insights emerging from recent large kinematic surveys of
galaxies at low redshift, with particular reference to the SAMI, CALIFA and
MaNGA surveys. These new observations provide a more comprehensive picture of
the angular momentum properties of galaxies over wide ranges in mass,
morphology and environment in the present-day universe. I focus on the
distribution of angular momentum within galaxies of various types and the
relationship between mass, morphology and specific angular momentum. I discuss
the implications of the new results for models of galaxy assembly.
