Forum IV 2009
The fourth Rethinking Resource Sharing Forum was held on May 13-14, 2009 at the OCLC Conference Center in Dublin, OH. The group gathered to hear inspiring speakers and brainstorm and plan ways to move the work of the Initiative forward and learn how to make inspiring change in their own libraries. The work of the begun here by the attendees led to the creation of the new Rethinking Resource Sharing Plan (link to the plan document, file name is RRS-plan2012) and other great work in the Rethinking committees.
