LyrOpen Fair 2025: Making Connections Visible This panel will share perspectives on open access and open infrastructure from library leaders at American liberal arts colleges. These perspectives are a vital complement to the voices of large research universities, which frequently figure more prominently in conversations about Open. Panelists will discuss how and why their college libraries participate in open access and open infrastructure programs, benefiting their communities, engaging with campus stakeholders, and influencing library services and collections. Our four expert panelists will reveal the unique role of liberal arts colleges in the Open landscape. Speakers Theresa Arndt, Associate Dean for Collections & Discovery Services, Dickinson College. Anne Houston, Director of Libraries & College Librarian, Swarthmore College. James Simon, Assistant Director of Collections & Discovery, Davidson College. Luke Vilelle, University Librarian, Hollins University. Michael Rodriguez, Senior Strategist, Lyrasis, https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2919-5588.
