SCONUL continues to run its forum for small and specialist institutions which brings together this group of members to share experiences, information and best practice. It is open to all those leading SCONUL member institutions who define themselves as specialist or small and their senior teams plus invited guests. 

The work of the forum is driven by its members who will choose the topics for discussion and activities arising. The Forum meets three times a year and has discussed a range of issues including the negotiations with Elsevier over provision of content; the impact of the pandemic on workforce and recruitment, and priorities for SCONUL strategy.
