LyrOpen Fair 2025: Making Connections Visible Lyrasis is deeply engaged in advancing openness across the scholarly communication landscape through the libraries, archives, museums, and related knowledge communities it serves. This webinar will explore interconnections of open ecosystem work happening in or supported by Lyrasis’ three divisions—Content & Scholarly Communication Initiatives (CSCI), Ebooks & Community Engagement (EBCE), and Community Supported Technologies & Hosting Services (CSTHS). Attendees will gain insights into: The role of open access in making research and scholarship more widely available. How open infrastructure, open standards for digital content distribution, and open persistent identifiers (PIDs) support interoperability and sustainability. The importance of open-source solutions in empowering communities and advancing knowledge-sharing. Join us to learn how Lyrasis is working across divisions to build a more open, connected future.
