“As libraries struggle to meet the challenges of
providing digital content in an environment
characterized
by
significant
uncertainty
and
changing on a daily basis, there is a need for an
Association-wide
group
of
experts,
broadly
representative of the many constituencies within the
library community, that can proactively address
these digital content opportunities and issues at the
highest level and from both a policy and practical
perspective.”
