HathiTrust 2015 Member Meeting

Big Ten Center, Chicago

8:00AM-3:30PM

December 9, 2015

The 2015 HathiTrust Member Meeting will be held on December 9 at the Big Ten Center near O’Hare Airport in Chicago. We ask all official member representatives to plan to attend or to designate an attendee who can, if needed, vote on behalf of their institution. Following the model of the 2011 Constitutional Convention, library directors from state university systems or consortia that are HathiTrust members may also attend, although only the member representative for the consortia may vote.

We plan to begin no later than 9am and conclude no later than 3:30pm, with a continental breakfast available at 8am. A detailed agenda will be sent to registered attendees in advance of the meeting. We expect the meeting to include an update on strategic initiatives, proposed by-laws changes, and an in-depth discussion of the planned Shared Print Monograph Archiving program, as well as finances, the legal landscape, and current priorities.

Registration details have been sent to member representatives.

There is no charge to attend the meeting, but we will ask attendees to RSVP by November 30, 2015. Background materials will be sent in advance of the meeting.
