The Print Archives Network (PAN) Midwinter Forum will be held online on January 23, 2026. PAN is a free and open platform for sharing information about shared print programs. Anyone with an interest in shared print is welcome to attend and participate.
Supported by the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), PAN fosters collaboration among libraries and consortia, providing opportunities to exchange information, expertise, and best practices related to shared print and the collection lifecycle.
To stay informed about PAN activities, we encourage you to join the [PAN listserv]. Past event pages, including presentations and program reports, are archived for reference. Additional resources such as older PAN presentations, updates, and meeting notes can be found in our [PAN Event Index] and [Digital Collections].
For those unable to attend ALA in person, the forum will be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing.
