We look forward to seeing you at the Charleston Conference. Over the past year, Lyrasis has been highlighting the concept of openness — not just the open source and open access tools we work to provide you — but an overall sense of inclusion and acceptance. Lyrasis works with our members and partners to bring equitable, accessible and quality solutions to scale. We, too, embrace the Charleston Conference theme, "the sky's the limit." Join our staff on the following sessions at the Charleston Conference, both in person and virtually. Please stop by the Lyrasis table on November 12.
