The 2019 Fall Forum, to be hosted by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), is scheduled for September 26, in Washington, DC. A few spots are still available and interested parties may register by September 9.
The theme of this year’s ARL-CNI Fall Forum is ‘Research Libraries as Catalytic Leaders in a Society in Constant Flux.’ The 2019 forum’s goal is to help us understand what research libraries are doing as catalytic leaders now and to discuss and recommend what more is required to contribute to institutions, the research and learning ecosystem, and society.
The Fall Forum features the Julia C. Blixrud Memorial Lecture and the Julia C. Blixrud Scholarship, which supports the attendance of one master of library and information science (MLIS) student or recent graduate at the forum each year.
The fifth annual Blixrud Memorial Lecture, entitled ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution,’ will be delivered by Jaron Lanier. In addition to the keynote, there will be several programs focusing on emerging opportunities, artificial intelligence and new forms of reality, and organisational readiness. Speakers will be listed on the schedule as they are announced.
