ACRL Announces Saturday Events at ALA
Collective Reinvestment in Open
Infrastructure Inclusion Focus of
SPARC-ACRL Forum
Libraries are increasingly considering
scaling back their subscriptions or cancelling big deals altogether. Yet, the question of
how and where to reinvest the resources that
become available is both far from settled
and increasingly pressing. As we start to
move away from the subscription model,
we should be intentional about crafting the
vision for open research communication
we strive to build and how we intend to
build it. This forum, "If I Had A Million
Dollars: Collective Reinvestment in Open
Infrastructure," will invite active participation throughout the session in a facilitated
discussion with experts representing both libraries and research funders. The forum will
be held from 2:30 - 3:30 pm on Saturday,
June 22, in room 151A of the Washington
Convention Center.

Update on ACRL Research Agenda for
Scholarly Communications
Learn about ACRL's new research agenda
for scholarly communications and the research
environment. Developed over the course
of a year with a high degree of community
involvement, particularly historically underrepresented groups, this powerful new actionoriented agenda encourages the community
to make the scholarly communications system
more open, inclusive, and equitable by addressing issues concerning people, content,
and systems. It outlines trends, encourages
practical actions, and clearly identifies the
most strategic research questions to pursue.
Learn how to apply for an ACRL research
grant to investigate timely and substantial
research questions, developing solutions that
will move the community forward. The update session will be held from 9:00 - 10:00
a.m. on Saturday, June 22, in room 151A of
the Washington Convention Center.

Virtual Augmented
Reality Demo
Virtual Augmented Reality (VAR) technology is emerging as the
new medium for 21st-Century learning. VAR immersive experiences are now feasible and available with new technology, interfaces, and software being released daily. Libraries are positioned to be
one of the catalysts for community engagement and VAR content
development. Come by and experience Virtual Reality
using state-of-the-art systems.
