This report published by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) summarizes recommendations for libraries in each of the areas explored by the ARL/CARL Task Force on Marrakesh Treaty Implementation. The report also includes recommendations for ARL and CARL—each Association’s respective committees will carry forth these recommendations.
Through a three-year pilot project, the ARL/CARL task force explored elements of Marrakesh Treaty implementation in the US and Canada, focusing on what was required to enable scholars’ unfettered access to materials in accessible formats in their fields of scholarship and preferred languages. The ARL/CARL pilot investigated several aspects of Marrakesh Treaty implementation, including identifying beneficiary needs within a university setting, identifying and implementing metadata requirements for searching capabilities, implementing the discovery systems within the pilot libraries, and developing strategies and opportunities for the pilot project members to socialize the work being done.
