CRL Forum: Global Resources and CRL 2010

CRL’s strategic agenda for 2007-2010 emphasizes strategic print management, achieving persistent access to critical electronic resources, and digital delivery of international source materials.  CRL Forum presentations will focus on three key parts of this agenda, outlining how we propose to address questions this agenda poses.  Moderated breakout groups, for comment and discussion on each issue by interested member representatives, will then follow.

9:30-10:15 - Presentations

• Print archiving
  Question:  What larger role should CRL play, if any, in archiving legacy collections that are available electronically?
  Updates on print archiving efforts in progress and the results of CRL’s survey of member needs will inform this discussion. (Moderator: Melissa Trevvett, Vice President, Collections and Services)
• Digital Delivery of International Source Materials
  Question:  How should we apply our cooperative model to CRL development and acquisition of primary source materials in electronic form?
  New mechanisms are in order to enable circulation, immediate research needs, and local collection development goals to drive CRL collection digitization and licensing of specialized source materials.  (Moderator: James Simon, Director of International Resources).
• Persistent Access to Electronic Source Materials and Data
  Question:  How can CRL members leverage recent CRL work on auditing and certification of digital repositories?  
  The analytical metrics and methods developed can make university investments in electronic resources and digital preservation more informed and effective. (Moderator: Bernie Reilly, CRL President)
