@mbreeding.bsky.social - supported open source is the way of the world. A common myth I face is that you need a lot of technical staff to use open source. #AspenCon #AspenDiscovery #OpenSource #Libraries

@roganhamby.bsky.social - Aspen Discovery becomes the most visible front of the library, it is the first thing patrons see. It might be the ONLY thing patrons see if they don't come in. It makes Aspen Discovery a marketing layer. #AspenCon #AspenDiscovery #equinox #Libraries
