Join Ixchel M. Faniel, Senior Research Scientist, Library Trends and User Research, and library leaders from OCLC’s Global Council to discuss the library’s role in open research. The session will provide an opportunity to pause and reflect on what we know about researchers’ data sharing and reuse needs and what libraries are offering to support them. The discussion will include ideas and suggestions about future planning for library leaders who wish to further advance the goals of open research. This session includes active discussion and opportunities for all attendees to participate.
