ARL Action Plan 2021–2022

"Our five objectives are: 1. Advocate and advance law and policy for balanced copyright that safeguards the interests of researchers and learners so libraries can share, lend, reformat, preserve, and acquire digital content with maximum digital affordances 2. Enhance partnerships within the greater research ecosystem in order to strengthen research libraries within the open-science-by-design framework and related openscholarship initiatives 3. Advance sustainable and systemic change particularly as it relates to racism by recruiting, retaining, and advancing people of color and other underrepresented populations, as well as through programs, frameworks, and partnerships to build structural equity and inclusion 4. Implement a research agenda for the Association that enables research libraries to address impact and outcomes 5. Implement a strategy for leadership and organizational development through programming and events that develop library deans, directors, and staff to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by the significant changes underway in research, teaching, and learning...."
