The recent Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) report, “The Process of Discovery: The CLIR Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and the Future of the Academy,” recognizes the first decade of the fellowship by presenting the views of some 20 current and former fellows, as well as selected CLIR staff, on trends in academic libraries and the future of academia. In this panel, four contributing authors, including two editors and two leaders of their respective chapters, will share their firsthand experience in the production of this forward-looking volume, from the initial brainstorming session and subsequent survey of fellows to the eventual publication of and reactions to the report. The speakers will explore the ways in which the structure of the CLIR postdoctoral fellowship encourages innovative approaches to addressing issues that affect libraries and academia now: the increasingly complex research data management landscape; the need for a diversely skilled workforce; increased interdisciplinary collaboration; and new forms of scholarly communication.
