Strategic Directions

COPPUL Strategic Framework, 2025-2028

In 2023-24, the Council of Prairie & Pacific University Libraries undertook a strategic consultation and planning process. We heard deep appreciation for, and commitment to, COPPUL’s key areas of work: Collective Collections, Digital Preservation and Indigenous Knowledges. Out of these conversations, a structure emerged to guide COPPUL’s work in an increasingly complex and collaborative environment and align our decisions and activities with shared values and priorities. The 2025-2028 Strategic Framework will serve COPPUL well over the next three years as we focus on renewal, resilience and relationships. Thank you to the COPPUL community for your participation in this process and your collective commitment to our shared future.
