This forum explored the strategic implications of repositioning research libraries to manage digital assets for their institutions. Donald J. Waters, Program Officer, Scholarly Communication, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, opened the meeting with a broad overview of several issues and developments surrounding digital-asset management. Three program sessions followed on institutional policies, emerging federal policies, and the state of tools available to take on the role of digital-asset management.
