This  forum, to be webcast following CRL's annual Council Meeting. CRL member library input at the Collections Forum helps shape CRL shared collections and services throughout the year.  The forum is an opportunity for representatives of CRL libraries to discuss and weigh in on CRL cooperative collecting and licensing activities, and help map CRL’s agenda.     

This year’s virtual forum will feature new developments in CRL acquisitions, digitization and licensing.  Attendees will also consider and discuss CRL strategies for expanding member access to news, government and legal information, and archives.  Prior to April 24, CRL will poll registrants on their priorities for licensing and digitization in these areas, and on specific issues for resolution.
