Research

Each year, OCLC Research hosts a range of meetings where we exchange information, develop projects and learn from each other and from outside experts. We engage staff from libraries, archives and musems and advance the work of the OCLC Research Library Partnership in regular meetings, feature notable speakers in our Distinguished Seminar Series, hold webinars to encourage and facilitate remote participation, and record podcasts of discussions we have with industry leaders. Our staff also attend various meetings and conferences where they serve as speakers or panelists and engage with colleagues from around the world. Check out a complete listing of past events on our meetings page.
