• Sharing best practices and knowledge in work areas that support collections and discovery;
• Identifying best practices for equity, diversity, and inclusion in the development and description of collections;
• Creation and input on standards and best practices for selection, acquisition, description, access, and preservation of information resources;
• Preservation of both print, media, and digital resources.
