Held in conjunction with CRL's annual Council of Voting Members meeting [2], the 2016 Global Resources Collections Forum will explore the meaning of due diligence and responsible stewardship in a time when the center of gravity in research and academic libraries is shifting from collections to digital resources, and collection management is giving way to other library roles and responsibilities.
@Risk is about the meaning of due diligence in this environment. CRL's analysis of the state of print archiving, and presentations by thought leaders in the field, will provide the basis for blueprinting of a North American cooperative agenda on collections and preservation.
The Forum is open to individuals affiliated with CRL member institutions and CRL invitees. There is no charge, but advance registration is required.
CRL has arranged for extending a special rate offer at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, 151 East Wacker Drive. Reservations can be made online at https://resweb.passkey.com/go/CenterResearchLibraries2016 [3]
Or call Central Reservations at 1-888-421-1442, referring to the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the dates of stay, and the “Center Research Libraries 2016 Meeting.” Reservations must be received on or before midnight, March 21, 2016.

Moderated discussion will identify concrete measures CRL can take to expand the universe of print serials collections preserved, and accessible to CRL libraries.
2:15 p.m. Framing the Accompanying Narrative
Moderated discussion will articulate the principles upon which libraries can base defensible decisions on maintaining, merging and/or reducing print serial holdings, as a matter of consensus among research libraries.
This CRL Global Resources Collections Forum is supported in part by a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. CRL also acknowledges support of ongoing exploration of issues related to print and digital archiving by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
As library economics and scholarly practices change, librarians must make consequential decisions about print serial collections, decisions that will determine what scholarly resources are available to future researchers. Longstanding assumptions about the survival and continued accessibility of print journals, newspapers, and government publications no longer apply, and decisions are being made on the basis of scant data. @Risk will explore the meaning of due diligence in this new environment, and consider new ways to protect and leverage the historic investment in collections made by North American libraries.

2:45-5:00 p.m. Presentations: How Can We Better Leverage the Infrastructure We Have?
This session will explore the roles major stakeholders in our field can play in covering the preservation waterfront and preventing the loss of important content.
Denise Hibay, Susan and Douglas Dillon Head of Collection Development, New York Public Library.
Over the years certain long-established research libraries have created comprehensive and curated collections of serials for their own scholarly communities, and made substantial bricks and mortar investments in buildings and storage facilities for those collections. What factors affect those libraries’ decisions on maintaining and sharing the benefits of those investments today, and how are those factors changing?
Recording [10]
Mike Furlough, Executive Director, HathiTrust
Over the past twenty years libraries have digitized their collections to enable access, and also have factored digital access into their print management strategies. This presentation will consider the following questions: Should future coordinated print management drive future digitization agendas, and if so how? What are our community digitization strategies today and can they be aligned? How can CRL and HathiTrust engage to help shape and enact these strategies?
Recording [11]
James O'Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University, and Chair, Board of Directors, American Council of Learned Societies
Scholar, former provost, and now university librarian James O'Donnell speaks about the futures of the library print collection (onsite, offsite, shared, on-demand, and special), and about the expectations of university administration and faculty for library stewardship and due diligence.

Friday, April 15 9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon (Continental breakfast 8:30-9:00 a.m.)
Gleacher Center, 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago
In a series of open discussions with representatives of key stakeholder sectors, attendees will explore how the universe of print serials collections preserved and accessible to CRL libraries might be enlarged.
Major Academic and Independent Research Libraries
How can we better leverage the historical investment in collections made by these libraries for the benefit of their own constituencies? How can we support greater sharing of these collections?
Presenters: David Magier, Associate University Librarian for Collection Development, Princeton University Library, and Mary Miller, Director of Collection Management and Preservation, University of Minnesota Libraries. Moderator: Martha Hruska, Associate University Librarian for Collection Services.
Recording [14]
Shared Print Repositories
How might major investments in shared print management, like ReCAP, be leveraged for the benefit of the larger community? What are the prospects for further sharing of shared print collections?
Presenters: Jacob Nadal, Executive Director, Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP); Mark Jacobs, Executive Director, Washington Research Library Consortium. Moderator: Denise Hibay, Susan and Douglas Dillon Head of Collection Development, New York Public Library.
Recording [15]
Trusted Digital Repositories
How can we leverage the investments made chiefly by research libraries in digital preservation repositories like CLOCKSS and Portico? The serial title holdings of those repositories are a significant factor in library decisions on print holdings. Directors of those repositories will speculate on how they might cover more of the waterfront, and how they could provide greater assurance for university faculty and administration about libraries going fully digital.
Presenters: Deanna Marcum, Managing Director, Ithaka S + R; Craig Van Dyck, Executive Director, CLOCKSS. Moderator: Karla Strieb, Associate Director for Collections, Technical Services, and Scholarly Communication, the Ohio State University.
Recording [16]
Publishers and Aggregators
To ensure the long-term integrity and accessibility of the vast serials corpus, libraries will have to rely on preservation in less-than-optimal formats. To what extent can we rely on the microform vaults of publishers like ProQuest, Gale, and others as last copies?
Presenters: Ray Bankoski, Vice President, Electronic Asset Management, Cengage Learning, and Susan Bokern, Vice President for Information Solutions, ProQuest. Moderator: Bernard Reilly, CRL.
