CLIR

The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) grew out
of the 1997 merger of the Commission on Preservation and Access (CPA)
and the Council on Library Resources (CLR). Over the years, CPA and
CLR, in partnership with libraries, archives, and other information
providers, advocated collaborative approaches to preserving the nation’s
intellectual heritage and strengthening the many components of its
information system. CLIR was founded to continue this tradition of
support for a national information system and a seamless web of information
resources, of which all libraries and archives are a part.

The convening role is central to CLIR’s mission. CLIR brings together
experts from around the country and around the world and asks them
to turn their intelligence to the problems that libraries, archives,
and information organizations face as they integrate digital resources
and services into their well-established print-based environments.

CLIR urges individuals to look beyond the immediate challenges and
imagine the most desirable outcomes for the users of library and
archives—to be rigorously practical and to dream.
