Things We Heard, Things We Learned
People welcomed the chance to get together and discuss the issuesManaging change, managing born digital is a challengeParticipants want a pool of resources
Scale is an issueThe community would like LYRASIS to supply services and programs that the community can’t afford to build or support on their ownSlide13
There’s a Lot of OpportunitySlide14
Merger with DuraSpace, Before and Life After Dissolution
LYRASIS and DuraSpace considered a merger in 2016, reflecting our growing commitment to open source technologies for our community
It was ultimately determined to be unfeasible at this timeLYRASIS will continue to seek these opportunities moving forward in order to help advance open technologies and community supported solutions for all of us.Slide15
In-between world
The Present State for All of Us
Making libraries more visible on the web has two benefits: improving the service for the ones who are already committed to the library—they use search engines, too—and giving libraries the opportunity to reach those who never—or only sometimes—think about the library.Slide16
We are in an
in-between world
where we have two groups of people: [the] ones who already go to the
library and the ones who never think about the library.

There are millions of
creative, community-minded people
who are ready to visit, contribute to, and participate with cultural institutions that support their interests. While many people explore their passions
in online communities, there is enormous potential for them to come together in physical spaces organized around stories and objects that matter to them.
