This quarterly webinar will report on the current status of major CRL initiatives and programs. Presentations will focus on three areas:

Presenter: Marie Waltz, Special Projects Manager and Amy Wood, Head, Technical Services, CRL

CRL’s 2015 landmark summit on shared print in North America suggested that only a small portion of the universe of published serials is covered by the existing archiving and shared print programs. How has the situation improved since then? CRL staff will provide an update on commitments registered in PAPR and report significant developments discussed at the Print Archives Network Forum at ALA Midwinter in Seattle.

2:30-3:00 p.m. CST Digitization: "New Resources for Law & Government Information in LLMC Digital"
Presenter: Kurt Meyer, Manager of Global Content Development and Preservation, LLMC Digital

Since 2010, CRL and LLMC have collaborated through the Global Resources Partnership in Law and Government on digitization and access to critical research resources. Kurt Meyer will report on significant additions to the LLMC Digital collection, including the Early State Records archive, and recent platform improvements to enhance full-text searchability and content navigation.

3:00-3:30 p.m. CST Licensing: "The HistoryMakers Digital Archive"
Presenter: Dionti Davis, The HistoryMakers Digital Archive

The HistoryMakers Digital Archive includes over 3,000 interviews with prominent African Americans ranging from Marian Wright Edelman to General Colin Powell to President Barack Obama early in his career.
