During the 2018-2019 program year, CNI is convening several small groups of library and information technology leaders to discuss the most urgent and most promising opportunities for collaboration in various areas of higher education. The first of these meetings was held in September, 2018 and the report from this discussion is now available at

The beginning of the report provides a bit more background on the overall effort.

This conversation was intended as a broad survey of the territory. We will be holding several more such groups to delve into specific areas more deeply.

I will be talking about this project broadly, as well as some of the specific findings from this report, during my plenary next Monday at the CNI Member meeting; it's also covered in the new 2018-2019 Program Plan which we'll distribute at the meeting, and which should be online shortly.
