Held in conjunction with CRL's annual Council of Voting Members meeting, the 2016 Global Resources Collections Forum will explore the meaning of due diligence and responsible stewardship in a time when the center of gravity in research and academic libraries is shifting from collections to digital resources, and collection management is giving way to other library roles and responsibilities.

@Risk is about the meaning of due diligence in this environment. CRL's analysis of the state of print archiving, and presentations by thought leaders in the field, will provide the basis for blueprinting of a North American cooperative agenda on collections and preservation.     

The Forum is open to individuals affiliated with CRL member institutions and CRL invitees. There is no charge, but advance registration is required.
