Dynix has released a semi-annual ePublication called Dynix Institute Upstream: Unexpected Ideas, Uncensored Opinions as a new service of the Dynix Institute. Dynix Institute Upstream is offered free of charge to all members of the library community and is available for immediate download.

The purpose of Dynix Institute Upstream is to connect librarians with keen insight, unique ideas, and valuable opinions from library thought leaders as they answer questions in a forum. A different question, the same one asked to each of the contributors, provides the theme for each edition.

The publication is designed to pose thought-provoking questions regarding important issues in librarianship. Each edition will feature analysis and commentary from some notable thought leaders of the library community, all past or upcoming presenters of the Dynix Institute Web Seminar Series.

The first edition of Dynix Institute Upstream poses the question, "What emerging breakthrough or trend, currently unknown to most librarians, will have the greatest impact on the library community over the next 10 years?" Ten contributors share their responses to the question, including ALA President Carol Brey-Casiano and ALA President-Elect Michael Gorman. Other contributors include leading consultants, library directors, and library technologists.
