Summary Report for @Risk North Forum Finds Significant Enthusiasm in Canada for Shared Collections

From the Canadian Association of Research Libraries:

The organizations responsible for last November’s forum on shared collections, @Risk North (Collections en péril), are pleased to announce the release of a  that presents an overview of the presentations as well as the discussion outcomes from this event.
This pan-Canadian gathering of representatives from primarily academic and national libraries aimed to allow this sector to engage in a strategic discussion around the state of shared print preservation programs in Canada and beyond, from a variety of perspectives, and to begin identifying next steps in national or regional coordination. It was inspired by the Center for Research Libraries’ 2016 @Risk meeting held in Chicago in April 2016.
