“Knowledge Without Walls: Sharing in Times of Change.” Resource-sharing — the supply of loans and copies between libraries regionally, nationally, and globally — is the foundation of international library cooperation, ensuring access to diverse ideas and research materials. Today, this essential mission faces profound global challenges that threaten to build new walls around knowledge and access. The DDRS Standing Committee challenges the resource-sharing community to examine strategies, technologies, and partnerships that dismantle these emerging walls and ensure knowledge equity in this rapidly shifting world.
