Strengthening CRL Global Collections Community Convening (Phase 1: Discovery) [1]
Event Logistics
Join CRL on Wednesday, May 31, for the first community-wide convening of CRL’s process to strengthen and reinvest in global collections [12]. This convening will provide an opportunity for the community to debrief on findings from Phase 1 (Discovery). The Educopia project leads Jessica Meyerson and Katherine Kim will facilitate community conversation and share their analysis of data collected through a robust series of focus groups and targeted interviews.
Based on interviews and focus groups conducted in Phase 1, Educopia Institute will facilitate a community-wide call aimed at the following objectives:
- Clarify the current scope of current CRL global collections activities;
- Identify key challenges as well as associated opportunities (e.g., programmatic and administrative) for CRL global collections moving forward;
- Share emerging visions for change;
- Elicit community feedback regarding findings from Phase 1; and
- Describe how these findings will inform Phase 2 (Impact Modeling).
All are welcome attend this community-wide meeting; community participation is critical to the success of this initiative. Please submit any questions you have about the process via this brief Google Form [13]. A portion of the agenda will be dedicated to responding directly to questions. Please be prepared to participate in live polling via Zoom.
