Center for Research Libraries (CRL) Releases Final Report From “The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information” Online Forum

From the Center For Research Libraries (CRL) Post by Samantha Abrams:

The organizing committee of The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information is pleased to share the report generated from this forum, which took place from January — April 2021. The Report details current key issues facing European collections as seen through a series of presentations and a poster session by librarians and members of the book trade from North America and Europe. At a final interactive meeting, attendees discussed practical ways to respond to the ideas and issues raised during the event. Presentations and discussions coalesced around three themes: new models for collaborative collection development and services; the growing range of content and format types and their significance for libraries and researchers; and the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process.

Attendees came from across North America and Europe, and included librarians, scholars, and members of the book trades.
