Boston Library Consortium (BLC) Announces Launch of the of the Digital Lenders Forum
From a BLC Announcement:
Boston Library Consortium is excited to announce the launch of the Digital Lenders Forum, a conversation series about shaping the future of digital lending in libraries. The Digital Lenders Forum brings together library innovators and practitioners to spark practical solutions and visionary ideas that will drive actionable change across the digital lending ecosystem.
This forum builds on BLC’s digital lending work as part of our 2023 National Leadership Grant from IMLS, resulting in the Digital Lending Toolkit, Digital Lending Summit, and a number of other publications on e-book interlibrary loan, controlled digital lending, and resource sharing systems.
Through insightful discussions and shared experiences, the forum will dive into the opportunities and challenges of lending various digital resources, from e-books to multimedia collections. Whether you’re new to digital lending or a seasoned professional, the Digital Lenders Forum invites you to learn, collaborate, and build the strategies your library and organization needs to strengthen digital lending for all.
More details to come – sign up now for the Digital Lenders Forum mailing list.
