@mbreeding @lisacarlucci In my (lengthy ;-) intro I referenced a series of blog posts on the complex 'Open' landscape in which libraries are operating -- https://t.co/8vmVTub23H -- extensible/interoperable/open library technology is part of this broad, sometimes blurry space.

Some reflections on @OCLC Research's recent work on library collaboration. There is an incredibly rich record of libraries acting collectively from which to draw lessons, guidance, and inspiration for future collaborations. https://t.co/XzplIjn1CP

"The moral of the story? Partnering decisions informed by collections and resource sharing data analysis are more likely to be successful and mutually beneficial." Great blog post from my colleague @SHARESGuy

Is there value in pursuing a more deliberate, data-driven strategy when building your resource sharing groups?

Some excellent insights here on the value technologists bring to library leadership -- especially in an environment where there is a new energy around 'build' options and expectations for interoperability, with many benefits/tradeoffs to be weighed.
lorcandempsey.net
Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.

Chandra worked on a remarkably broad range of research topics @OCLC from characterizing the attributes of 'last copies', to user studies, to library marketing and strategic planning and much in between. Find links to many of her publications (1986-) here:
Chandra Prabha's story is one of the many reasons we love our alums so much. Her career was inspired back in the early 70s as a patron of the @madisonlibrary & she went on to a remarkable career in research at @OCLC . https://t.co/82tSQaL33d

"the reference to libraries, which have evolved from warehouses of paper books to collaboration spaces, is a give-away...we can imagine a campus that is the academic analogue of a WeWork facility." thought provoking reflections on proposed model for (some) higher ed institutions
