The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) has released its 2025 Communities of Practice Impact Survey Report, highlighting the contributions of its member-led professional groups in strengthening collaboration across Canadian research libraries.
According to the findings, these Communities of Practice (CoP) have played a vital role in facilitating knowledge sharing, fostering professional development, and addressing shared challenges within the research library ecosystem. The report also points to opportunities for improvement, including greater bilingual engagement and refined outreach strategies to support diverse member needs.
CARL plans to use the survey insights to further evolve its CoP, ensuring they remain inclusive, responsive, and well-positioned to support innovation in research library services and practices across Canada.
