CARL-CRKN-SPARC Webinar: Institutional Perspectives on Investments in Open Infrastructure - Canadian Association of Research Libraries

"The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), and SPARC are pleased to bring you this panel on institutional approaches and perspectives regarding their investments in open infrastructure.

What internal discussions are necessary to build support for shifting library funds from subscriptions to infrastructure support?..."
