Welcome Robert Miller, HBCU Library Alliance Board Member/LYRASIS CEO
Greetings Colleagues,
I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who in 1888 received one vote from the Kentucky delegation at the Republican convention in Chicago, effectively making him the first African-American candidate nominated for U.S. president.
Robert Miller, new LYRASIS CEO
Join me in welcoming Robert Miller to LYRASIS and the HBCU Library Alliance! Robert comes to LYRASIS from Internet Archive, where his team created a global digital library currently accessed by more than 300 million people each year. Robert's team developed standards, tools, services and training to unite disparate content communities to serve not just local institutions, but a global community of digital scholars and citizens.
Yesterday, with great excitement, I shared with Robert the successes and challenges of the HBCU Library Alliance. As he is assuming Kate Nevins' ex-officio Board position, our discussion focused on Alliance projects, mission and message, future considerations and critical sustainability issues. Robert is ready and willing to share his skills and experiences to advance our mission. I look forward to his involvement with the Board of Directors.
If you're attending ALA, Robert will be at the LYRASIS booth #2341 on Friday, June 26 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm PT. I'm sure he would enjoy meeting you!

Honor the ancestors, honor the children.
As incoming Board Chair, I want to echo the sentiments of our Executive Director in welcoming Robert Miller to LYRASIS and the HBCU Library Alliance! It is with much enthusiasm that I look forward to working with Robert Miller as we strive to advance the mission of the Alliance, be it through our excellent leadership development program, the preservation of our rich archival collections and planning for the sustainability of the Alliance. I ask the board members and the membership in general, to join with me in welcoming Robert to the HBCU Library Alliance and the HBCU community at large. We are transforming HBCU libraries for tomorrow while preserving our past.

:) Thank you :)
While I don’t wear heels (and I am not saying there is anything wrong with heels!), Kate earned her shoes (with heels) and I wouldn’t dream of filling them.
I think she and I both expect that a new pair of shoes will be set out to take us forward with.
Here’s to our future together in helping to make content more discoverable, usable and helpful.
Thanks so much!

Greetings Colleagues,
I trust you’re well. Today I’m celebrating abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who in 1888 received one vote from the Kentucky delegation at the Republican convention in Chicago, effectively making him the first African-American candidate nominated for U.S. president.
Robert Miller, new LYRASIS CEO
Join me in welcoming Robert Miller to LYRASIS and the HBCU Library Alliance! Robert comes to LYRASIS from Internet Archive, where his team created a global digital library currently accessed by more than 300 million people each year. Robert’s team developed standards, tools, services and training to unite disparate content communities to serve not just local institutions, but a global community of digital scholars and citizens.
Yesterday, with great excitement, I shared with Robert the successes and challenges of the HBCU Library Alliance. As he is assuming Kate Nevins’ ex-officio Board position, our discussion focused on Alliance projects, mission and message, future considerations and critical sustainability issues. Robert is ready and willing to share his skills and experiences to advance our mission. I look forward to his involvement with the Board of Directors.
If you’re attending ALA, Robert will be at the LYRASIS booth #2341 on Friday, June 26 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm PT. I’m sure he would enjoy meeting you!
