For years we have held an escrow account where III deposits the most updated version of Sierra, as a sort of contingency plan if III abruptly went out of business. Are others doing this, and if so I'm wondering if IUG would consider doing this on beh...

We've just completed the split of the Idea Lab Always Open Challenge into separate areas: one for Sierra and one for Polaris. This should help you find the ideas most important to your library.

I hope you all are staying safe and warm this week as many of you struggle with the frigid temperatures! Maybe it will help to start thinking about visiting Phoenix in early May, when it averages around 90 degrees.
