As part of the Global Resources Forum initiative, CRL’s Topic Guides survey types of source materials in broad collection areas of particular interest to member libraries. Some Guides will relate to the study of particular world regions; others will support research in fields such as human rights, agriculture, and water resources; some will focus on types of documentation and source materials, such as news, public opinion data, and government-produced information.

Updated Guides

Recent Topic Guides include essays on the current “landscape” of challenges to collecting in a particular field, and also list resources related to these issues, including reviews of emerging digital collections. Topic Guides will be released to complement subject-oriented webinars offered several times a year by CRL.
