Agenda

Notes

Where should we focus membership engagement? Report outlines three groups to focus on

Group A: high number of sites and members (US, Canada, UK, Australia, Switzerland)

Looking at gap between installation sites and memberships

Group B: high number of implementations, no members 

Group C: low number of sites and members ← doesn't make sense to us to focus here.

Note: We did not get to discussing items 2 and 3.


Recommendations from the Group:

  1. General Recommendations for moving work forward
    1. Develop a story for library directors re: why you should join Lyrasis AND Fedora?
    2. Does Lyrasis have a communications & marketing profession who could help us develop a more sophisticated and successful outreach/membership development strategy?
    3. What support services does Lyrasis offer to its communities?
  2. Membership Specific Recommendations
    1. Focus on locations with high gap between high implementations with low/no memberships (Group A and Group B)
    2. Target specific consortia and membership orgs (e.g., UK-based Digital Preservation Coalition, DCC, ask David about Canadian Consortiums)
