Association of Research Libraries (Association of Research Libraries, Statistics and Measurement Program)

The Association of Research Libraries has begun a strategic planning process that frames the critical work of the association and defines the role it plays in higher education. This will allow it to consider opportunities in continuing education and collaborations with other types of institutions, as well as member institution needs. This grant provides funding for design studio work and for regional meetings with member libraries and other stakeholders interested in the future of research libraries. ARL members will review a final planning framework at the association’s spring 2014 Membership Meeting.
