CNI’s Executive Roundtable series assembles executive teams (usually the chief librarian and chief information technology officer, but varying depending on the topic) from about 10 institutions for a focused discussion on a topic of interest on the morning of the first day of each membership meeting. Launched in 2003, the Executive Roundtables build on the theme of collaboration between librarians and information technologists that has been at CNI’s foundation. Past topics have included institutional repositories, campus open access policies, learning management system strategies, identity management, learning spaces, funding innovation, the university’s role in the dissemination of research and scholarship, lecture and performance capture, infrastructure to support research, risk management and disaster planning, and institutional strategies for multiple devices and platforms. For recent roundtables, we have placed summaries on the CNI website. The Fall 2012 Executive Roundtable will address developments in institutional publishing strategies, including libraries as publishers, the role of university presses, multi-institutional scholarly publishing strategies and related developments. The spring 2013 Roundtable is currently expected to focus on aspects of developments in scholarly identity management (see below).
