The PAN Forum will take place at the June 2025 ALA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
PAN is a free and open platform for sharing information about shared print programs. Anyone interested in shared print is welcome to attend and participate.
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) supports PAN to foster opportunities for libraries and consortia to exchange information, expertise, and best practices related to shared print and the collection lifecycle.
