Additional Global Resources Collections Forum Material
The Global Resources Collections Forum will expand the support for collection development and decision-making that CRL provides its member libraries. The Forum will consist of published analyses, enhanced by real-time collection-related Webinars, forums, and podcasts. Use the “Members Preview” link below to download a document containing examples of two types of Global Resources published analyses:
- Reviews will provide critical analysis and information of digital collections and databases, some prior to release, and links to CRL profiles of major publishers, distributors, and repositories.
- Field Guides will survey essential research resources and collecting challenges in various domains. These Guides will expand upon and ultimately supplant the guides to various research topics currently available on CRL’s Web site.
We welcome ideas from the CRL community on these prototypes and on any additional features that would be useful. For more information or to add your feedback, please contact Virginia Kerr.
