Abstract

This report on the 2019 ARL-CNI Fall Forum summarizes the presentations of the keynote speaker and panelists, highlights specific breakout discussions, and outlines a set of shared recommendations for research libraries as leaders in a changing society.

3. New forms of reality to advance research integrity and learning
4. Next generation organizations, skills, and competencies needed for research libraries
