The Association of College & Research Libraries’ (ACRL) 2021 Environmental Scan publication is now freely available at https://acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/2021-acrl-environmental-scan/ .
Quoting from ACRL, “Every two years, the ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee releases an environmental scan of higher education, including developments with the potential for continuing impact on academic libraries.”
Topics covered include, among others, the COVID-19 challenges; diversity, equity, and inclusion; research services and support; and, emerging technologies. I was pleased to see that CNI’s Digital Scholarship Planning Webinar series was described in the report. Videos from the presentations in that series, which I moderated, are freely available at https://www.cni.org/events/cni-workshops/digital-scholarship-planning-2020-webinar-series along with campus discussion guides for each session.
I hope you’ll find these resources useful in your work.
