ARL Institutes are designed to meet the needs of member representatives, senior leaders, and the broader community for a concentrated period on timely topics.
The ARL President’s Institute explores content driven by the Association president. The institute rotates among the geographic regions of the Association to provide greater opportunities for participation by member institutions and others in our field without requiring extensive travel. The President’s Institute is the evolution of the event previously known as the Fall Forum. This interactive institute will convene a broad community of individuals, general executives, senior leaders, and subject-matter experts on top-of-mind issues facing research libraries. Each year, the Julia C. Blixrud Scholarship recipient will attend the President’s Institute and issue a formal report.
