Large-scale automated access and reuse are challenging long-standing assumptions about stewardship\, authenticity\, and sustainability. \nThis session features Leo Lo\, Dean of Libraries at the University of Virginia\, who will present an update on his recent work regarding “Memory without Origin” and the implications of AI for library collections and archives. His perspective foregrounds tensions between access and control\, and the need to rethink how libraries manage provenance\, permissions\, and infrastructure in an era of machine-scale use. \nDrawing on institutional initiatives\, the session will explore emerging strategies for responding to these challenges\, including approaches to archival AI\, resilient infrastructure\, and policy development. \nAttendees will gain insight into how academic libraries are redefining their role in stewarding the scholarly record amid rapid technological change\, and how concepts of memory\, access\, and responsibility are being renegotiated. \n\n\n\n					 Agency is the Engine: Leading Academic Change\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 10h00 ET – 10h45 NDT \nSpeaker: Bill Nelson\, Interim Dean in the Faculty of Arts and Science  (Queen’s) – RemoteJenn Stephenson\, Professor in the DAN School of Drama and Music (Queen’s) – RemoteChair:  Michael Vandenburg \nHigher education institutions face growing pressure to adapt\, yet many change efforts stall within the structural tensions of collegial governance. Faculty bring disciplinary expertise and innovative ideas\, while administrators hold the authority and operational capacity to implement change. Too often\, these strengths remain disconnected. \nIn this session\, Bill Nelson and Jenn Stephenson introduce “agency in a box\,” a collaborative framework for academic change leadership that creates structured spaces for innovation while ensuring institutional commitment to action. By combining faculty expertise with administrative authority\, the model transforms consultation into meaningful shared governance and actionable change. \nDrawing on experiences with program redesign and institutional transformation\, the presenters will explore how this approach can foster trust\, creativity\, and sustainable change in universities and research libraries navigating complex organizational and technological shifts. \n\n\n\n					 CNI Update: Strategic Priorities and Emerging Directions\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 11h15 ET – 11h30 NDT \nSpeaker: Kate Zwaard (Coalition for Networked Information)Chair: Amy Buckland (Concordia) \nThe Coalition for Networked Information plays a key role in advancing the infrastructure\, policy\, and practice of networked scholarship across research libraries and allied organizations. As the landscape of digital scholarship\, research infrastructure\, and information policy continues to evolve\, sustained engagement across national contexts is increasingly important. \nThis session will introduce Kate Zwaard\, Executive Director of CNI\, and provide an update on the organization’s recent activities\, strategic priorities\, and areas of focus. The session will also create space for dialogue with CARL directors to share perspectives\, identify areas of alignment\, and offer feedback on how CNI can strengthen its connections with and support for Canadian research libraries. \nAttendees will gain a clearer understanding of CNI’s current directions and contribute to shaping opportunities for future collaboration and engagement. \n\n\n\n					 Building a Data-intensive Research Program in Atlantic Canada\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 11h30 – 12h30 NDT \nSpeaker: Mike Smit (Dalhousie University)Chair: Michael Vandenburg \nMike Smit (Dean\, Faculty of Management\, Dalhousie University) will reflect on his engagement over time with managing environmental research data\, and how its development mirrors broader changes in Canada’s research data landscape. \nThis session will explore how building data-intensive research programs has informed both institutional strategy and the education of future information professionals at Dalhousie’s iSchool. Particular attention will be given to the role of academic libraries as collaborators in RDM ecosystems\, including early and ongoing partnerships with Dalhousie Libraries\, and how these relationships have matured alongside national infrastructure. \nHe’ll share lessons and experiences from his work with the Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System from its pre-launch days\, his work with the Marine Environmental Observation\, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR)\, and his time as Deputy Scientific Director of the Ocean Frontier Institute and co-architect of the Transforming Climate Action CFREF program. \n\n\n\n					 CARL’s National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 13h45 – 15h30 NDT \nPanelists: Stéphanie Gagnon (Montréal)\, Brett Waytuck (Regina)\, Amanda Wheatley (VPO for AI and Library Strategies; McGill)\, Stephanie Savage (VPO for Copyright and Other Public Policy Matters; British Columbia)Chair: Catherine Steeves (OCUL) \nCARL’s projects and interests are approached through its individual strategic committees and their mandates. In the case of artificial intelligence\, there are many facets that fall under multiple committee mandates: AI literacy and the use of AI in teaching and learning (ATLC); the use of AI in the research enterprise and more recently developments with LLMs and external organizations wishing to access our collections (ARC); public policy and legislative developments that can impact research libraries (PAC); efficiencies and labour concerns (SCC); and\, data evaluation tools (Impact). \nThis session is intended to discuss these silos\, how they overlap and/or support each other\, to develop a broad understanding and agreement of the direction for CARL with regards to AI. \nLed by Catherine Steeves\, this session will build upon the committee-level discussions held on Day 1 of the CARL spring meeting\, bringing together perspectives from inside and outside our member libraries. Catherine will offer insights informed by her work with OCUL and ARL\, alongside findings from her own research. Stéphanie and Brett will highlight local initiatives within their respective libraries and reflect on their experiences facilitating Futurescape‑style workshops with their teams. CARL VPOs will share updates from their current research portfolios\, with Amanda discussing how CARL libraries are mobilizing AI strategies\, and Stephanie providing an overview of the evolving policy landscape in Canada. \nThe outcome is to inform the development of a national strategy across all of these silos\, for CARL to support its members to both engage and lead conversations at an institutional\, regional\, and national level on the expertise\, as well as the unique vision\, that research libraries bring to the table. \n\n\n\n					 Leadership Reflections from Departing CARL Directors\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\, 9h15 – 10h15 NDT \nPanelists: Larry Alford (Toronto)\, Susan Parker (British Columbia)\, Lesley Balcom (New Brunswick)Chair: Stéphanie Gagnon \nAs CARL directors from three libraries spanning the country are approaching the end of their appointments\, we have invited departing members Larry Alford (Chief Librarian – U of T)\, Susan Parker (University Librarian – UBC)\, and Lesley Balcom (Dean of Libraries – UNB) to participate in a moderated discussion about their observations on leadership and our current and future prospects for collaboration as an association. \nTheir collective experience represents an extraordinary body of insight at a pivotal moment for our sector\, and this session will provide invaluable context for colleagues navigating an increasingly complex research and policy environment. The moderated discussion will be followed by Q&A and broader engagement with all CARL directors on emerging themes. \n\n\n\n					 Navigating Decision Fatigue: Leadership Under Pressure\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\,  10h45 – 11h45 NDT \nSpeaker: Susan Cleyle (CARL Visiting Program Officer– Leadership Development Initiatives) \nAcademic library leaders are navigating an increasingly complex decision environment shaped by budget compression\, organizational restructuring\, wicked problems and the realities of working within collective agreements. These conditions contribute to decision fatigue—the cumulative burden of making repeated high-stakes choices affecting collections\, staffing\, services\, and institutional priorities. Over time\, the sheer volume and weight of these decisions can quietly erode clarity\, confidence\, and the capacity to lead strategically. This interactive session will engage directors in identifying and developing practical strategies to combat decision fatigue and strengthen leadership teams. \n\n\n\n					 Organizing for What’s Next\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\,  11h45 – 12h45 NDT \nFacilitator: Michael Vandenburg \nResearch libraries continue to adapt to changing institutional priorities\, service expectations\, and evolving areas of expertise. As libraries respond to developments in research support and organizational capacity\, many are reflecting on how best to structure and coordinate their work across teams and portfolios. \nThis in-camera panel discussion will explore how member libraries are approaching organizational planning and service delivery in a changing environment. Panelists will share perspectives on a range of organizational models\, approaches to collaboration and specialization\, and the factors influencing local decision-making and strategic priorities. \nThe session will also consider broader questions related to organizational evolution\, including leadership approaches\, change management\, staff engagement\, and balancing continuity with emerging needs. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect collectively on common challenges\, opportunities\, and areas of ongoing exploration across research libraries. \n\n\n\n					 Leo Lo (University of Virginia)\n									\nLeo S.

Without Origin: The UVA Archival AI Protocol\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 9h15 ET – 10h00 NDT \nSpeaker: Leo Lo (University of Virginia) – RemoteChair:  Talia Chung (Ottawa) \nAs artificial intelligence reshapes how knowledge is created\, accessed\, and reused\, research libraries are confronting new questions about memory\, provenance\, and control over the scholarly record. Large-scale automated access and reuse are challenging long-standing assumptions about stewardship\, authenticity\, and sustainability. \nThis session features Leo Lo\, Dean of Libraries at the University of Virginia\, who will present an update on his recent work regarding “Memory without Origin” and the implications of AI for library collections and archives. His perspective foregrounds tensions between access and control\, and the need to rethink how libraries manage provenance\, permissions\, and infrastructure in an era of machine-scale use. \nDrawing on institutional initiatives\, the session will explore emerging strategies for responding to these challenges\, including approaches to archival AI\, resilient infrastructure\, and policy development. \nAttendees will gain insight into how academic libraries are redefining their role in stewarding the scholarly record amid rapid technological change\, and how concepts of memory\, access\, and responsibility are being renegotiated. \n\n\n\n					 Agency is the Engine: Leading Academic Change\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 10h00 ET – 10h45 NDT \nSpeaker: Bill Nelson\, Interim Dean in the Faculty of Arts and Science  (Queen’s) – RemoteJenn Stephenson\, Professor in the DAN School of Drama and Music (Queen’s) – RemoteChair:  Michael Vandenburg \nHigher education institutions face growing pressure to adapt\, yet many change efforts stall within the structural tensions of collegial governance. Faculty bring disciplinary expertise and innovative ideas\, while administrators hold the authority and operational capacity to implement change. Too often\, these strengths remain disconnected. \nIn this session\, Bill Nelson and Jenn Stephenson introduce “agency in a box\,” a collaborative framework for academic change leadership that creates structured spaces for innovation while ensuring institutional commitment to action. By combining faculty expertise with administrative authority\, the model transforms consultation into meaningful shared governance and actionable change. \nDrawing on experiences with program redesign and institutional transformation\, the presenters will explore how this approach can foster trust\, creativity\, and sustainable change in universities and research libraries navigating complex organizational and technological shifts. \n\n\n\n					 CNI Update: Strategic Priorities and Emerging Directions\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 11h15 ET – 11h30 NDT \nSpeaker: Kate Zwaard (Coalition for Networked Information)Chair: Amy Buckland (Concordia) \nThe Coalition for Networked Information plays a key role in advancing the infrastructure\, policy\, and practice of networked scholarship across research libraries and allied organizations. As the landscape of digital scholarship\, research infrastructure\, and information policy continues to evolve\, sustained engagement across national contexts is increasingly important. \nThis session will introduce Kate Zwaard\, Executive Director of CNI\, and provide an update on the organization’s recent activities\, strategic priorities\, and areas of focus. The session will also create space for dialogue with CARL directors to share perspectives\, identify areas of alignment\, and offer feedback on how CNI can strengthen its connections with and support for Canadian research libraries. \nAttendees will gain a clearer understanding of CNI’s current directions and contribute to shaping opportunities for future collaboration and engagement. \n\n\n\n					 Building a Data-intensive Research Program in Atlantic Canada\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 11h30 – 12h30 NDT \nSpeaker: Mike Smit (Dalhousie University)Chair: Michael Vandenburg \nMike Smit (Dean\, Faculty of Management\, Dalhousie University) will reflect on his engagement over time with managing environmental research data\, and how its development mirrors broader changes in Canada’s research data landscape. \nThis session will explore how building data-intensive research programs has informed both institutional strategy and the education of future information professionals at Dalhousie’s iSchool. Particular attention will be given to the role of academic libraries as collaborators in RDM ecosystems\, including early and ongoing partnerships with Dalhousie Libraries\, and how these relationships have matured alongside national infrastructure. \nHe’ll share lessons and experiences from his work with the Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System from its pre-launch days\, his work with the Marine Environmental Observation\, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR)\, and his time as Deputy Scientific Director of the Ocean Frontier Institute and co-architect of the Transforming Climate Action CFREF program. \n\n\n\n					 CARL’s National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence\n									\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 13h45 – 15h30 NDT \nPanelists: Stéphanie Gagnon (Montréal)\, Brett Waytuck (Regina)\, Amanda Wheatley (VPO for AI and Library Strategies; McGill)\, Stephanie Savage (VPO for Copyright and Other Public Policy Matters; British Columbia)Chair: Catherine Steeves (OCUL) \nCARL’s projects and interests are approached through its individual strategic committees and their mandates. In the case of artificial intelligence\, there are many facets that fall under multiple committee mandates: AI literacy and the use of AI in teaching and learning (ATLC); the use of AI in the research enterprise and more recently developments with LLMs and external organizations wishing to access our collections (ARC); public policy and legislative developments that can impact research libraries (PAC); efficiencies and labour concerns (SCC); and\, data evaluation tools (Impact). \nThis session is intended to discuss these silos\, how they overlap and/or support each other\, to develop a broad understanding and agreement of the direction for CARL with regards to AI. \nLed by Catherine Steeves\, this session will build upon the committee-level discussions held on Day 1 of the CARL spring meeting\, bringing together perspectives from inside and outside our member libraries. Catherine will offer insights informed by her work with OCUL and ARL\, alongside findings from her own research. Stéphanie and Brett will highlight local initiatives within their respective libraries and reflect on their experiences facilitating Futurescape‑style workshops with their teams. CARL VPOs will share updates from their current research portfolios\, with Amanda discussing how CARL libraries are mobilizing AI strategies\, and Stephanie providing an overview of the evolving policy landscape in Canada. \nThe outcome is to inform the development of a national strategy across all of these silos\, for CARL to support its members to both engage and lead conversations at an institutional\, regional\, and national level on the expertise\, as well as the unique vision\, that research libraries bring to the table. \n\n\n\n					 Leadership Reflections from Departing CARL Directors\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\, 9h15 – 10h15 NDT \nPanelists: Larry Alford (Toronto)\, Susan Parker (British Columbia)\, Lesley Balcom (New Brunswick)Chair: Stéphanie Gagnon \nAs CARL directors from three libraries spanning the country are approaching the end of their appointments\, we have invited departing members Larry Alford (Chief Librarian – U of T)\, Susan Parker (University Librarian – UBC)\, and Lesley Balcom (Dean of Libraries – UNB) to participate in a moderated discussion about their observations on leadership and our current and future prospects for collaboration as an association. \nTheir collective experience represents an extraordinary body of insight at a pivotal moment for our sector\, and this session will provide invaluable context for colleagues navigating an increasingly complex research and policy environment. The moderated discussion will be followed by Q&A and broader engagement with all CARL directors on emerging themes. \n\n\n\n					 Navigating Decision Fatigue: Leadership Under Pressure\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\,  10h45 – 11h45 NDT \nSpeaker: Susan Cleyle (CARL Visiting Program Officer– Leadership Development Initiatives) \nAcademic library leaders are navigating an increasingly complex decision environment shaped by budget compression\, organizational restructuring\, wicked problems and the realities of working within collective agreements. These conditions contribute to decision fatigue—the cumulative burden of making repeated high-stakes choices affecting collections\, staffing\, services\, and institutional priorities. Over time\, the sheer volume and weight of these decisions can quietly erode clarity\, confidence\, and the capacity to lead strategically. This interactive session will engage directors in identifying and developing practical strategies to combat decision fatigue and strengthen leadership teams. \n\n\n\n					 Organizing for What’s Next\n									\nThursday\, May 28\, 2026\,  11h45 – 12h45 NDT \nFacilitator: Michael Vandenburg \nResearch libraries continue to adapt to changing institutional priorities\, service expectations\, and evolving areas of expertise. As libraries respond to developments in research support and organizational capacity\, many are reflecting on how best to structure and coordinate their work across teams and portfolios. \nThis in-camera panel discussion will explore how member libraries are approaching organizational planning and service delivery in a changing environment. Panelists will share perspectives on a range of organizational models\, approaches to collaboration and specialization\, and the factors influencing local decision-making and strategic priorities. \nThe session will also consider broader questions related to organizational evolution\, including leadership approaches\, change management\, staff engagement\, and balancing continuity with emerging needs. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect collectively on common challenges\, opportunities\, and areas of ongoing exploration across research libraries. \n\nWednesday\, May 27\, 2026\, 9h15 ET – 10h00 NDT \nSpeaker: Leo Lo (University of Virginia) – RemoteChair:  Talia Chung (Ottawa) \nAs artificial intelligence reshapes how knowledge is created\, accessed\, and reused\, research libraries are confronting new questions about memory\, provenance\, and control over the scholarly record.

In particular\, he will explore the importance of intellectual freedom in higher education to civil discourse\, and likewise the irreducible mission and work of research libraries as both convening spaces and distinct sources for models and resources that ensure robust and vibrant cultures of productive disagreement. These efforts\, which we might collectively describe as a commitment to thinking out loud together\, support of advancing knowledge\, serving the common good and the pursuit of truth. \n\n\n\n					 Intellectual Freedom Plenary and Table Discussions\n									\nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\,  14h30 ET – 15h00 ET \nChair: Mary-Jo Romaniuk \nCARL had a publically-available\, collections-focused Freedom of Expression statement for many years. While the statement was modernized in 2022\, recent campus conflicts through which the library must navigate\, as well as growing attention being paid to how the library navigates freedom of speech and assembly in light of hate speech and unpopular views\, occasioned a small working group of CARL members to re-examine our collective position.  \nA revised Declaration on Intellectual Freedom and Inclusive Libraries with a slightly extended series of commitments is proposed. In this session\, members and guests will have the opportunity to review and openly discuss these commitments and the context in which their libraries operate.  \nThe intention is then to bring a final version of the document to the business meeting for adoption by the membership. \n\n\n\n					 Exploring Three GenAI Questions\n									\nWednesday\, November 19\,  2025\, 15:00 pm – 16:30 pm ET \nFacilitators: \n\nSu Cleyle\, CARL VPO – Leadership Development Initiatives\nJanice Kung\, CARL VPO – AI and Library Services \n\nThe influence of generative AI is rapidly reshaping higher education and impacting academic libraries. From collections to policy\, library administrators are navigating uncharted territory\, seizing new opportunities and exerting influence.  \nThis workshop offers academic library leaders dedicated space and time to reflect\, share\, and strategize together three key topics: descriptive practices\,  institutional policy\, and team engagement. In facilitated small group discussions\, participants will explore these guiding questions: \n\n\nHow can directors participate and position libraries in the development of institutional policies on generative AI? Do our librarians support the institutional direction as much as we would like?  \n\n\nCan AI transform descriptive practices for unique collections? \n\n\nHow can library directors actively engage staff in open conversations about their fears of AI\, while encouraging meaningful exploration of the technology despite ongoing reluctance? \n\n\nThrough these conversations and a plenary debrief\, participants will identify pain points\, uncover gaps in current approaches\, and consider actionable next steps. The session emphasizes peer-to-peer dialogue\, enabling directors to learn from one another’s perspectives and experiences\, and to discover areas where collective attention and leadership are most needed. \n\n\n\n					 Navigating Uncertainty: The View from Harvard\n									\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025\,  9h00 ET – 10h15 ET \nChair:  Mary-Jo Romaniuk \nSpeaker: Martha Whitehead\, Vice President for the Harvard Library and University Librarian and Roy E. Larsen Librarian for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences \nResearch libraries have navigated uncertainties for centuries\, guided by enduring values and a mission to advance and preserve knowledge. What can we learn from the pressures of the present moment as we chart our paths forward? Drawing on recent experiences at Harvard and decades in Canada\, Martha will reflect on several key themes – upholding free expression\, mutual respect\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion; opportunities and threats for cultures of collaboration; and what is a library? She’ll then ask us to consider some of the priorities these themes suggest and our own approaches to navigating uncertainty. \n\n\n\n					 Director’s Workshop – Adapting Organizational Structures to Changing Landscapes\n									\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025\,  10h30 ET – 12h00 ET \nFacilitator: Susan Cleyle\, CARL VPO – Leadership Development Initiatives \nThe second in a two-part series on adapting organizational structures to changing landscapes. \nKeeping in mind the forces reshaping universities and libraries\, this session will provide an opportunity to reflect on legacy and emerging roles\, to hear how some colleagues have chosen to respond\, and to collaboratively identify critical approaches to successfully adjust organizational structures.  \nBuilding on the discussion at the Directors +1 session held on October 3rd\, this directors-only session will focus on how directors can rethink their individual organizational structures within union and budget constraints\, explore long-term strategies for structural change\, and consider if/how CARL can support and accelerate these transformations. Leave with a clearer understanding of the shifts underway and a list of emergent key areas requiring organizational shifting.  \n\n\n\n					 Randy Boyagoda\n									\nRandy Boyagoda is a novelist and Professor of English at the University of Toronto\, where he also serves as the university’s advisor on civil discourse\, the first such position in Canada.

In this session\, members and guests will have the opportunity to review and openly discuss these commitments and the context in which their libraries operate.  \nThe intention is then to bring a final version of the document to the business meeting for adoption by the membership. \n\n\n\n					 Exploring Three GenAI Questions\n									\nWednesday\, November 19\,  2025\, 15:00 pm – 16:30 pm ET \nFacilitators: \n\nSu Cleyle\, CARL VPO – Leadership Development Initiatives\nJanice Kung\, CARL VPO – AI and Library Services \n\nThe influence of generative AI is rapidly reshaping higher education and impacting academic libraries. From collections to policy\, library administrators are navigating uncharted territory\, seizing new opportunities and exerting influence.  \nThis workshop offers academic library leaders dedicated space and time to reflect\, share\, and strategize together three key topics: descriptive practices\,  institutional policy\, and team engagement. In facilitated small group discussions\, participants will explore these guiding questions: \n\n\nHow can directors participate and position libraries in the development of institutional policies on generative AI? Do our librarians support the institutional direction as much as we would like?  \n\n\nCan AI transform descriptive practices for unique collections? \n\n\nHow can library directors actively engage staff in open conversations about their fears of AI\, while encouraging meaningful exploration of the technology despite ongoing reluctance? \n\n\nThrough these conversations and a plenary debrief\, participants will identify pain points\, uncover gaps in current approaches\, and consider actionable next steps. The session emphasizes peer-to-peer dialogue\, enabling directors to learn from one another’s perspectives and experiences\, and to discover areas where collective attention and leadership are most needed. \n\n\n\n					 Navigating Uncertainty: The View from Harvard\n									\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025\,  9h00 ET – 10h15 ET \nChair:  Mary-Jo Romaniuk \nSpeaker: Martha Whitehead\, Vice President for the Harvard Library and University Librarian and Roy E. Larsen Librarian for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences \nResearch libraries have navigated uncertainties for centuries\, guided by enduring values and a mission to advance and preserve knowledge. What can we learn from the pressures of the present moment as we chart our paths forward? Drawing on recent experiences at Harvard and decades in Canada\, Martha will reflect on several key themes – upholding free expression\, mutual respect\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion; opportunities and threats for cultures of collaboration; and what is a library? She’ll then ask us to consider some of the priorities these themes suggest and our own approaches to navigating uncertainty. \n\n\n\n					 Director’s Workshop – Adapting Organizational Structures to Changing Landscapes\n									\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025\,  10h30 ET – 12h00 ET \nFacilitator: Susan Cleyle\, CARL VPO – Leadership Development Initiatives \nThe second in a two-part series on adapting organizational structures to changing landscapes. \nKeeping in mind the forces reshaping universities and libraries\, this session will provide an opportunity to reflect on legacy and emerging roles\, to hear how some colleagues have chosen to respond\, and to collaboratively identify critical approaches to successfully adjust organizational structures.  \nBuilding on the discussion at the Directors +1 session held on October 3rd\, this directors-only session will focus on how directors can rethink their individual organizational structures within union and budget constraints\, explore long-term strategies for structural change\, and consider if/how CARL can support and accelerate these transformations. Leave with a clearer understanding of the shifts underway and a list of emergent key areas requiring organizational shifting.  \n\nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\,  9h00 ET – 9h30 ET \nChair:  Mary-Jo RomaniukSpeakers: Stéphanie Gagnon\, Université de Montréal and Vivian Lewis\, McMaster University  \nCARL organized a study tour of selected libraries\, archives and research centres in Belgium\, France\, and Switzerland between June 22 and July 2\, 2026.  The delegation included member directors (Deans of Libraries / University Librarians) from seventeen research libraries across Canada\, plus two members of the CARL staff.  12 members of the delegation continued on to Lausanne\, Switzerland to attend LIBER\, the Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche’s conference.   \nThe overall objective of the tour was to create dialogue\, information exchange and potential partnerships between research libraries in Canada and Europe. \nPresenters will share with CARL members key takeaways from those meetings in the areas of open science\, the impacts of and responses to changing political and funding environments\, the work of European and national academic and research library associations\, research assessment reform\, and research libraries’ documentary heritage collections\, facilities\, and service innovations. \nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\, 9:30 am ET – 11:00 pm ET \nChair: Mary Jo Romaniuk \nSpeakers: Dr. Vincent Larivière\, Professor\, Faculty of Library and Information Sciences (EBSI)\, Université de MontréalKathleen Shearer\, Executive Director\, Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)David Tweddell\, Interim Vice President\, Strategy and Planning\, Digital Research Alliance of CanadaDr. Stefanie Haustein\, Associate Professor\, School of Information Studies\, University of Ottawa \nDescription:First\, each presenter will make short (5-7 minutes) opening remarks\, speaking to the area of open science that aligns with their work and expertise (diamond publishing\, repositories\, RDM & software\, and research assessment\, respectively)\, offering insights regarding to where we are currently\, what has been most instrumental driving progress\, and what is needed now for Canada to move forward. This will be followed by a guided discussion on common themes such as policy\, collaboration and common services\, open infrastructure\, and the role of AI. There will be time for questions from the floor. \nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\,  11h30 ET – 12h30 ET \nPresenters: Susan Haigh and Mark Swartz\, VPO Open Science  \nFollowing the morning’s panel on Open Science\, CARL directors and guests will reconvene for a status report from CARL to outline\, amid current activity in this domain\, where the organization sits in relation to progress towards open science. How ready are CARL libraries for the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy? Where are we at when it comes to research data and the impending implementation of the data deposit pillar of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management policy? What progress has been made in terms of PIDs? The presentation will be followed by open discussion. \nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\,  13h 30 – 14h 30 \nChair: Mary Jo RomaniukSpeaker: Randy Boyagoda\, Provostial Advisor on Civil Discourse\, University of Toronto \nIn this talk\, writer and professor Randy Boyagoda\, the University of Toronto’s Advisor on Civil Discourse\, reflects on the state and stakes of civil discourse these days\, on and off campus\, and across personal\, professional\, and public settings. In particular\, he will explore the importance of intellectual freedom in higher education to civil discourse\, and likewise the irreducible mission and work of research libraries as both convening spaces and distinct sources for models and resources that ensure robust and vibrant cultures of productive disagreement. These efforts\, which we might collectively describe as a commitment to thinking out loud together\, support of advancing knowledge\, serving the common good and the pursuit of truth. \nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\,  14h30 ET – 15h00 ET \nChair: Mary-Jo Romaniuk \nCARL had a publically-available\, collections-focused Freedom of Expression statement for many years.

Each period will be characterized with archival examples to highlight when juridical authority asserted its contested jurisdiction; and how Indigenous peoples’ responded. In each period the character of the archival records reflects the character of the relationship. \nImpacts of the Current North American Political Environment on Research\, Collections\, and EDI – PerspectivesGabriel Miller\, President and CEO\, Universities Canada (remote)Dr. Diane Hiebert-Murphy\, Provost and Vice-President (Academic)\, University of Manitoba(Wednesday\, May 28\, 10:15–11:30 AM) \nThe two invited speakers will offer their observations and thoughts – one from a pan-Canadian university advocacy organization’s perspective and one from an institutional administrator’s and researcher’s perspective – on how political developments south of the border and in Canada are impacting Canadian post-secondary education\, our universities\, the makeup of the academy\, research funding\, innovation\, and such societal goals as equity\, diversity and inclusion.  Measures being undertaken or considered by universities to find new opportunities and to mitigate negative impacts will also be discussed.  The session will not be focused on libraries so much as on the broader context in which research libraries are set.  \nCoARA and DORA: Changing the Research CultureDr. Kelly Cobey\, Ottawa Heart Institute and Co-Chair\, DORA (pre-recorded)Dr. Natalia Manola\, CEO\, OpenAIRE and Co-Chair\, CoARA WG OI4RRA (pre-recorded)Dr. Erica Conte\, Director\, Funding Strategy and Stewardship\, Unity Health Toronto(Wednesday\, May 28\, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM) \nWith recent developments in the open science space come calls from researchers and other stakeholders to enact more holistic changes to research culture\, including research assessment. Internationally\, DORA and CoARA are at the forefront of this movement; research assessment reform agreements issued by these organizations are garnering attention and gaining traction internationally and with some success in Canada. In this session\, invited speakers will provide pre-recorded dispatches from DORA and CoARA\, updating CARL members on the current state of play and contributing their perspectives on the Canadian context. \nReflecting Library Values in the Shift to Investment from ProcurementJoanna Ball\, Managing Director\, DOAJ(Wednesday\, May 28\, 2:30–3:30 PM) \nJoanna will broadly discuss investment versus procurement and how existing infrastructure assessment frameworks can be helpful to translate a library’s values into principles and rules that will guide their support to open infrastructures\, as investment.  DOAJ will be described as illustrative. \nIntellectual Freedom in Interesting TimesJames Turk\, CEO\, Centre for Free Expression (remote)Vickery Bowles\, CEO\, Toronto Public Library (remote)(Wednesday\, May 28\, 3:45–5:00 PM) \nThe session will explore whether Canadian academic libraries and their leadership need to more actively champion our profession’s core values in light of recent developments in Canada and other jurisdictions that are challenging intellectual freedom and its role in a just\, lawful\, and democratic society. Presentations from a leader and IF champion in the public library sphere (Vickery) and from one of Canada’s foremost academics on the subject (Jim) will be followed by Q & A\, and then by CARL tables discussion. Vickery will describe a recent TPL IF campaign and offer some observations for members’ consideration based on her experience. Jim will help us unpack the concepts and will suggest ways that academic libraries and their leaders may better navigate these times so as not to lose ground. \nTri-Agency UpdateMatthew Lucas\, Executive Director\, Corporate Strategy and Performance\, SSHRC (remote)Tim Wilson\, Associate Vice-President\, Research Programs\, SSHRC (remote)Kori St-Cyr\, Director\, Policy and Government\, NSERC (remote)Alison Bourgon\, Director-General\, Science Policy Branch\, CIHR (remote)(Thursday\, May 29\, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM) \nThe tri-agency representatives will update CARL members on developments in several areas: \n\nScope\, plans and timelines for the new OA policy\, post the comment period.\nThe state of play of the data management policy these days and any challenges arising\nDevelopments related to ASJ and SBA programs\, and investment in diamond OA.\nDevelopments related to DORA and the narrative CV rollout.\nThe state of the grant management systems changes and integration of PIDS\nAny structural changes and the prospect of a new capstone organization.\n\nGuest Speaker Biographies\nJoanna Ball: As Managing Director of DOAJ\, Joanna Ball is responsible for ensuring DOAJ fulfills its mission by setting strategic direction\, leading advocacy and engagement\, and securing the organisation’s sustainability.
