Projects
In support of its mission CARL has identified three broad strategic directions:
Advance the Research Library
Research libraries, in order to support effectively research and education as these evolve, must build an appropriately-skilled and well-informed professional staff and demonstrate clearly their value and potential contributions to researchers and administrators. CARL will work to advance the ability of its member libraries to fulfill their individual missions in several ways.
University Research and Education
Return on Investment / Statistics
The Learning Library
Indirect Costs of Research
Human Resources
Influence Public Policy
Research libraries can best support researchers in a public policy environment that facilitates the generation, sharing, and management of scholarly information through supportive laws, infrastructure, and institutions. To achieve this, CARL will work to influence federal-level public policy Canada on various themes.
