LITS 5-Year Strategic Roadmap
The roadmap outlines LITS' long-term goals and progress in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion; expanding accessibility and belonging; strengthening teaching, learning, and research support; modernizing enterprise systems and information security; and enhancing community engagement through innovative services and spaces. See highlights below or access the full roadmap here.
LITS continues to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into its operations, policies, and culture. The roadmap emphasizes creating equitable hiring practices, diversifying vendor relationships, and building inclusive collections and digital spaces. Staff development around cultural competency and inclusive pedagogy ensures that technology, information, and library resources serve the full range of Bryn Mawr’s students, faculty, and staff.
Accessibility and belonging are woven throughout LITS initiatives—from digital systems design to user experience and physical spaces. The team works to ensure that campus technologies, web content, and digital collections meet accessibility standards, while promoting belonging through inclusive service design and communication. Ongoing work includes expanding captioning and assistive technologies, updating web accessibility guidelines, and designing welcoming environments that reflect Bryn Mawr’s diverse community.
LITS supports innovative teaching, learning, and scholarship across disciplines. Recent priorities include expanding Digital Competencies and Digital Scholarship programs, refining Digital Intensives and workshops, and providing platforms for students to showcase research. The team advances open and digital pedagogy, personal digital archiving, and interdisciplinary projects such as Digital Bryn Mawr. Investments in lecture capture, Moodle redesign, and classroom technology help faculty and students engage seamlessly in both in-person and hybrid learning.
To maintain a secure and resilient digital campus, LITS continues to strengthen core infrastructure and security practices. The roadmap highlights upgrades to data storage, virtualization, and backup systems, a multi-phase infrastructure review with a focus on cloud strategy, and the adoption of next-generation endpoint protection and threat detection. These efforts ensure Bryn Mawr’s technology environment remains reliable, scalable, and protected from emerging risks while supporting teaching, research, and administration.
Modernizing enterprise systems and improving data strategy are key to the roadmap. Major initiatives include implementing PowerFAIDS for Financial Aid, advancing planning for a next-generation ERP for HR, Payroll, and Finance, and collaborating on a shared BiCo Student Information System. LITS also partners with Institutional Effectiveness to develop data governance models, analytics dashboards, and business intelligence services that enable data-informed decision-making across the College.
LITS is committed to making technology and information services approachable, responsive, and community-centered. The roadmap calls for enhancing the client support experience through a new service model, consultation and listening sessions, and more transparent feedback mechanisms. Teams are streamlining hardware and software delivery, expanding training and outreach, and developing sustainable models for technology funding. Across all of this work, the goal is simple: help every member of the Bryn Mawr community feel supported, informed, and empowered to use technology confidently.

MISO Survey

The survey is designed to measure how faculty, students and staff view the library and computing services, and the report focuses on key areas of interest at Bryn Mawr as well as national trends.
Digital Bryn Mawr Task Force Report
Bryn Mawr's Board of Trustees conducted a task force on Digital Bryn Mawr from fall 2011 through spring 2014. The Digital Bryn Mawr Task Force report documents a set of recommendations that emerged from the process, focused on academics, digital external relations, and foundational investments in infrastructure, tools, and expertise. The recommendations all support three high-level goals:
- Enabling digital fluency for students, faculty and staff
- Continuing to develop appropriate uses of technology for the liberal arts context
- Experimenting, assessing, learning, iterating – striving to be agile
Operationalizing the Digital Bryn Mawr priorities on campus has included creation of Bryn Mawr's new Digital Competencies Framework and integration of the competencies into curricular and co-curricular contexts for students, investment in Bryn Mawr's signature Blended Learning in the Liberal Arts program, and development of a digital scholarship program that engaged students, faculty, and staff in shared research projects published in contemporary forms. Digital Bryn Mawr goals inform priorities of LITS and the College as we continue to ensure that students are well-prepared for life and work in the digital age.
