Archer Library Annual Report 2017-18
(University of Regina Library, 2018-11) Dr. John Archer Library and Archives, University of Regina
Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr once wrote, “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose”. As we look back on 50 years of amazing service, support and innovation from the Dr. John Archer Library, I think we can agree that there have been incredible changes that were completely unforeseen when the doors were opened. But what has remained constant is the commitment to the underlying principles of librarianship and archival studies in a research university – the acquisition, synthesis and transformation of knowledge.

Archer Library Annual Report 2018-19
(University of Regina Library, 2019-11) Dr. John Archer Library and Archives, University of Regina
While libraries may be considered by some to be havens for the lone (and lonely) pursuit of life-long learning, the reality is that they have always been at the centre of communities – both physical and virtual. In medieval times, the creation of a single illuminated manuscript usually involved the labour of several skilled artisans engaging in the preparation of the vellum, the transcription of the text, and the illumination of the text. Although the audience of those masterworks was limited to the privileged who could read, the intent was to utilize the community to preserve the teachings embodied in the text for future generations.

The 2019-2020 Archer Annual Report provides a snapshot of the work of the dedicated staff of the Archer Library and Archives from May 2019 to April 2020 as they continue their support and leadership within the University community. The Dr. John Archer Library and Archives continued to adapt and change in 2019-2020. Some of the changes were anticipated and expected, others were not. With the onset of the pandemic, the whole world moved to a virtual environment in March 2020. Over the course of just two and one-half weeks, the Archer staff and faculty moved our services and supports to virtual delivery, ensuring that students, faculty and staff remained supported and library materials were accessible. Although the changes resulting from COVID 19 in the last two months of this reporting period are the most vivid in our minds, we also want to celebrate and focus on the accomplishments in the 10 months prior to the start of the pandemic.

Well, that was definitely not the year that any of us were expecting! In last year’s Annual Report, I described the herculean efforts it took for Archer’s faculty and staff to move all of our services and supports online in under three weeks. At that time we hoped the move would be short-lived, and that we would return to full in-person services in three or six months. As we all know now, that proved to be a very optimistic expectation. That optimism, coupled with the dedication, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability of the Archer Library and Archives employees meant that our services, supports, and collections have been available every day of the remote teaching and learning period. A very real and important accomplishment. These same qualities also enabled us to quickly re-open access to the main floor to allow students a safe place to study, to implement curbside pickup for needed research and learning materials, and to dedicate our group study rooms to supporting the writing of online mid-term and final exams.

Libraries endure. This simple statement was proven over and over again throughout the past year. As the university switched between teaching modalities and managed fluctuating on-campus student and faculty numbers, the Dr. John Archer Library and Archives adapted at every turn — ensuring that everyone was welcome, in-person or virtually. Archer’s faculty and staff repeatedly demonstrated their commitment, their professionalism, and most importantly their innovation in supporting the teaching, research, and learning enterprise at the University of Regina. Our people ensure that libraries endure! One of our key activities this year was to develop an Archer specific strategic plan that supports and helps advance the University’s 2020-2025 strategic plan, All Our Relations. This activity demonstrated to all of us how Archer contributes to the overall mission of the University, and more importantly to the learning and research goals of our students and faculty. Libraries endure because we are relevant! This year’s annual report also showcases another critical library constituency – our donors. As you browse the report you will see example after example of how individuals from Regina and far beyond insure that our research and teaching collections and our physical environment are continually renewed and kept relevant through donations and partnerships. Committed life-long supporters ensure that libraries endure! Finally, the report shows the many and varied ways that the Archer Library and Archives engaged with the campus and broader community. From displays, in-person and remote presentations and lectures, the Library Award, and participation in activities throughout southern Saskatchewan, our faculty and staff were an integral part of life on campus, in the city, and throughout the province. Libraries endure because we are community! No matter your relationship with the Dr. John Archer Library and Archives, I hope that you see your connection with us reflected in this report, and I again want to personally thank everyone who has contributed to our amazing success over the past year.

Kahkina nitinaweˉmaˉkaninaˉnik Kahkiyaw kiwâhkômâkaninawak Mitákuye oyás’in Tout ki wahkoomitonawn Toutes nos relations ‘All our relations’ – such a simple phrase, yet one with such rich and diverse meanings. When the University of Regina adopted this Indigenous concept of interconnectedness, family, and community for our 2020-2025 strategic plan, it perfectly encapsulated everything that universities and libraries represent and strive to be. This year’s report highlights the many accomplishments of our staff and faculty, but in every case success was predicated on formal and informal relationships that connect all of us as students, researchers, teachers, and active community members. This report also highlights our donors, whose foresight and generosity will ensure that the collections of the Dr. John Archer Library and Archives, and the new ideas they spark, will extend beyond those singular gifts and create new and unforeseen relations in the near and distant futures. We have also spent time examining the troubled history libraries have with diverse communities, and highlight some of the ways that we are working with academic libraries in western Canada and nationally to repair, strengthen, and foster relations with all of our diverse and unique communities. Finally, we are pleased to profile some of the many students who have engaged with Archer over the past year. These impressive young people are just forming the relations that will connect their past and their future, and we are honoured to have been part of their journey. No matter how you are connected to the Dr. John Archer Library and Archives, we are glad that we can count you as one of our relations. Brett Waytuck Dean, University Libraries and Archives

“Shhhhh …” is what you used to hear at the library. Predicated on a sense of reverence for historical knowledge and solitary self-improvement, the library was portrayed as a sanctuary from the pressures of everyday life where one could commune with the great thinkers of the past. This year’s annual report demonstrates no less reverence for the thinkers and knowledge of the past, but framed within the context of what all good libraries have always been — a place where the past and the present come together to create the future.
