2024 Member Meeting

HathiTrust will host the annual member meeting as a virtual event. 

Committed to the Core: Stewarding our Shared Collection

Our Strategic Vision — fueled by the collective energy of our 200+ member libraries — propels us to explore multiple avenues to bring more voices, more access, more data, and more diversity to our shared digital collection for the benefit of scholars and the global community. In 2024, we have renewed our commitment to the stewardship and preservation of the collection, the foundation of all our work. While our early days focused on building mass and scale, there are opportunities today to enrich the quality and reach of our collection in new ways. Join us to explore the framework of collaboration and the local impact of co-investment that are hallmarks of HathiTrust’s overall endeavor.  Through nuanced perspectives from member library leaders and HathiTrust staff, we’ll envision the possibilities for HathiTrust’s iconic collection in local libraries and in the world at large.

Who Should Attend? 

This year, we especially encourage attendance by the HathiTrust member representative, library director, and/or dean. The meeting will again be open to anyone affiliated with a member library. Members are welcome to pass along the meeting and registration information to teams and colleagues. There is no maximum number of those who may attend from one institution. 

Member Meeting Date and Time: Thursday, October 17, 2024
12:00 PM EDT/9:00 AM PDT – 2:15 PM EDT/ 11:15 AM PDT

Registration has been sent to Member Representatives via email and also linked in the August newsletter.
