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 Table Discussions\n \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 \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\nÀ déterminer. \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.

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 \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.

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\, 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.
