The precursor to the Digital Lenders Forum, BLC hosted its Digital Lending Summit on October 29, 2025 at Boston College. The day-long event featured a mix of panels and brainstorming sessions, featuring practitioners and leaders across the world of digital lending to identify actionable steps for attendees to pursue digital lending initiatives as they return to their home institutions.
Developed by the Digital Lending Summit Planning Committee, the summit had three primary goals:
- Learn about the landscape of digital lending practices in libraries
- Collaborate and ideate across organizational silos
- Chart the foundations of a broader community of practice to bring actionable and aspirational change to the digital lending ecosystem (eventually, the Digital Lenders Forum)
