Some high level aspirational organizational goals include interoperability-breaking down project silos, diversity and inclusiveness, long-range economic stability, business development, internationalization and others. In many cases we share these goals wth our member institutions. DuraSpace's pursuit of aspirational goals on behalf of the member community will include communications transparency and clear opportunities for wide participation.
Durapace Board Member and Stanford Libraries AUL Tom Cramer summarized encouraging members to think of support and participation withDuraSpace from a broader perspective. "We are at an inflection point—our conversations are very different from what they were years ago. We have made a lot of progress. Successes snd structures are reasons to celebrate.
We are nodes in a much wider network where expertise and knowledge are sharable in a wider sphere. DuraSpace has never had a better network—whole is greater than the sum of its parts and interconnectedness is valued. He concluded by urging attendees to think about how each individual's work relates to the wider community.
