OCLC Research Library Partnership

Dartmouth College Library has accepted an invitation to join the OCLC Research Library Partnership, an international coalition of not-for-profit organizations with research, educational, and cultural missions. This new organization blends OCLC Research and the RLG Partnership and represents a renewed commitment on the part of OCLC to research library development.

Being a member will gain us exclusive access to certain webinars, reports, and other research output, consultative access to OCLC program officers, assistance in user study design, and a voice in the development and priorities of the organization.
