Subject: HathiTrust's new strategic vision
March 25.  Today HathiTrust is excited to announce the release of its
new Strategic
Vision
<https://www.hathitrust.org/about/mission-history/strategic-visioning/>.

Approved by the Board of Governors at their last quarterly meeting, the
Strategic Vision was created through an intensive, year-long effort with
partners, Athenaeum 21, to imagine HathiTrust’s future. In its first 15
years, HathiTrust has collected, preserved, and provided lawful access to
more than 18 million texts in more than 400 languages. Today it stewards
the single largest collection of digitized texts created by and for the
academic community. This Strategic Vision responds to the changed
circumstances of its member libraries, the world, and HathiTrust itself,
but builds on existing strengths to outline critical and meaningful work
over the next three to five years.

Executive Director, Mike Furlough, says, “The insights we’ve gleaned over
the past year have led us to put renewed emphasis on our stewardship of the
collection, the foundation on which HathiTrust was built.”
