The series invites presenters to speak with OCLC staff and the library community on current issues facing the field, their current research, or other initiatives they have undertaken or recently completed. The format includes a presentation, followed by Q&A from the audience. Some presentation topics align with current OCLC Research areas of focus, while others may inspire our future directions. The series, which is streamed and recorded for future viewing, strives to bring a diversity of perspectives to a global audience and inspire call to action.
