| Rosalyn Metz | Emory University Libraries | Director of Library Technology and Digital Strategies | I am the Director of Library Technology and Digital Strategies at Emory University in Atlanta. I lead a diverse cross-functional team at the university on a multi-year effort to implement a Fedora/Hydra based repository. Ultimately, we seek to preserve content for all of the libraries, archives, and museums on campus. I have been involved in digital repositories and digital preservation in various roles throughout my career -- in project, product, and service management, operations and infrastructure management, and through my work with DPN. Fedora's extensible architecture and support for linked data make it a key component of digital repositories and digital libraries. Therefore, I believe it is up to us, the cultural heritage institutions that support Fedora, to ensure its long-term stewardship and continued success well into the future. |

| Tim Shearer | UNC Chapel Hill - University Libraries | Associate University Librarian for Digital Strategies and IT | UNC Libraries have been using Fedora as the core technology in the Carolina Digital Library since 2010. At UNC we are moving actively from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4, adopting PCDM as part of this move, and exploring Hyrax as the new front end to our institutional repository. In addition to being DuraSpace members, we have been engaged in the community and contributed developer time to Fedora 4. Carolina is poised to become a Hydra member in 2017. UNC's commitment to DuraSpace, Fedora, and the Hydra community will only grow with the relatively recent adoption of an Open Access policy for the campus. Tim Shearer is Associate University Librarian for Digital Strategies and IT and is ultimately responsible for repository development at Carolina. |
