Fall Feedback Sessions

Dec. 18, 2025

The feedback process has taken shape:

  1. Generate ideas
  2. Generate conversation about ideas
  3. Generate solutions

Generating Ideas

We are nearing the end of the idea generation process. The CST communities have a long history of documentation and conversations about integrations and feature requests. We first generated ideas from past documentation.

Workshops

Then we held a series of workshops with each CST community, and a two-day blitz of workshops that members of any Lyrasis CST community could participate in to solicit ideas.

Survey

We developed and released a survey. Anyone involved in a Lyrasis CST is invited to fill out the survey. We hope the survey will generate further ideas, more information about existing integrations, and feedback on other interoperability-related program needs. The survey is open until Jan. 15, so fill out the one for your respective community now!:

Please help us spread the word about your community’s survey: Share it with other users of your community technology, or post it on your favorite social media platform.

Generating Conversation about Ideas

We are now discussing high level ideas to identify discrete solutions we can design. If you are a Lyrasis CST community member, you are invited to participate in conversations about proposed solutions. You have two pathways to participate.

Generating Designs

Once solutions are identified, we will work together to draft descriptions and user behavior scenarios using a Behavior-Driven Design (BDD) process. Again, there are two ways to participate in defining user behavior:

The ideas that make it through these steps of the feedback process will be considered for developing functional requirements. The CST Interoperability consultant will propose one solution to each community's governance team. We will select up to five solutions total (at least one for each CST) with a target decision date of January 30.
