JW Marriott Hotel, Washington, DC
Opening Plenary
Monday, Dec. 9, 12:30–2:00 pm ET
We will have an extended opening plenary that will include an update and discussion of the CNI leadership transition that is underway, as well as the customary survey of key developments. In order to accommodate this, the plenary will start a little early, about 12:30pm rather than the usual 1pm.
- Welcome
- Update on CNI leadership transition, including results and discussion of a recent survey of the CNI membership, led by Andrew Pace, Executive Director of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL).
- The traditional December plenary by Clifford Lynch, CNI’s Executive Director, offering a survey of recent key developments, trends and prospects in the networked information and research landscapes. This year the focus will be on longer-term trends and speculations, as well as shorter-term developments. He will then discuss the evolution of CNI’s programs, strategies, and plans for the future and talk briefly about initiatives for program year 2024-2025. There will be time for questions and discussion.
