The ARL Views blog features short, timely posts of interest to the research library and archives community that focus on the Association’s Action Plan and show how research libraries are acting on our vision, mission, and values.
The audience for ARL Views is current and future decision-makers in research libraries and archives and their home institutions as well as policy and practice partners in the research enterprise.
Editorial Process
The ARL Views editorial staff consider proposed blog posts from ARL staff, current and former ARL fellows and scholars, ARL member representatives and their employees, and members of the broader research and higher education community. The editorial staff approve and edit the submissions.
