During the LYRASIS 3rd Annual Member Summit at the Nashville Public Library held on October 24, 2018, we revisited the 2017 Catalyst Fund recipient projects with Leigh Grinstead, Project Manager of the LYRASIS Catalyst Fund. In 2017, our inaugural year of the Catalyst Fund, we awarded 6 Member Organizations with funding totally over $130,000 for innovative projects focusing on community engagement, technology and/or education. This is a video overview for the 2017 Catalyst Fund projects.

- University of Nebraska, Omaha – “Mobile Digitization for Rural Community Archives”
- Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) – “Advancing 3D Digitization and Metadata Conventions”
