The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information continues conversations begun at the New Directions for Libraries, Scholars, and Partnerships Symposium held in Frankfurt in October 2017. This multi-day working forum, sponsored by the Collaborative Initiative for French Language Collections (CIFNAL), the German-North American Resources Partnership (GNARP)—both projects of the Center for Research Libraries—was originally scheduled to be hosted by Casalini Libri on May 11-14, 2020 in Fiesole, Italy. The in-person event was postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
