Institutions of higher education globally are facing unprecedented
challenges as COVID-19 continues to present risks and uncertainties that
threaten their budgets, their student enrollment, and their research
programs. But it’s also a time of opportunity, driving increased adoption
of educational technology and infrastructure, and making open educational
resources, online learning, and deepened digital engagement the norm. How
is this impacting long-term strategic planning for libraries, publishers,
and service providers? Our next virtual conference, Changes in Higher
Education and the Information Marketplace
<https://www.niso.org/events/2020/06/changes-higher-education-and-information-marketplace>,
brings together a group of key decision-makers to discuss the "new normal"
and consider the long-term implications for all stakeholder groups.

   Linda Jones, Western New England University: There is Hope — A View from
   the Provost’s Office
