Mission Statement
CLIR works to expand access to information, however recorded and preserved, as a public good. CLIR's agenda embraces the entire range of information resources and services, from traditional library and archival materials to emerging digital formats, and the entire network of organizations that gather, catalog, store, preserve, distribute, and provide access to information.

Organizational Background/Description
In collaboration with many associations, networks, and scholarly societies, CLIR serves as a forum for change. This convening role is central to CLIR's mission. It brings together experts from around the country and the world and asks them to turn their intelligence to the problems that libraries, archives, and information organizations are facing as they integrate digital resources and services into their well-established, print-based environments. CLIR urges individuals to look beyond the immediate problems and imagine the most desirable outcomes for the users of libraries and archives to be rigorously practical and to dream.
