During this session, panel experts will address the following questions:
* How did policy changes and the closing of Canadian government libraries, archives, and research collections impact the flow of government information?
* What lessons can we learn from Canadian librarians?
* What is the current U.S. government information landscape?
* How can Canadian and U.S. librarians collaborate and support each other?
Panelists include James R. Jacobs (Stanford University Library), Susan Paterson (University of British Columbia), and Amanda Wakaruk (University of Alberta). Jim Church (University of California, Berkeley) will act as moderator.
They will suggest scalable strategies for libraries of any size or type to participate in the process of ensuring government collections are accessible and discoverable for future generations.
