It is a pleasure to host colleagues and partners whose work strengthens research libraries across the Pacific Rim and beyond. At UVic Libraries, we are deeply committed to advancing knowledge, fostering inclusive collections, and navigating the profound technological and societal shifts shaping our profession. As a community, PRRLA reflects a shared belief that collaboration – across institutions, borders, and perspectives – is essential to our collective future. May our time together in September spark new partnerships, practical strategies, and bold thinking to sustain and transform research libraries for the communities we serve.
