Description: The CDLI community forums have continued to offer programming on the development of use cases, user stories, and technology reviews of CDL within a variety of library and consortial settings. Most of these talks have focused on U.S. implementation of CDL. For this January CDLI Forum we are going to examine CDL around the world! Join us as we hear from experts about the implementation, or potential implementation, of CDL under the policies and laws in other jurisdictions. The panelists will each discuss CDL through the lens of their work in the UK, Canada, India, including a view on CDL from the international library organization, IFLA.
