Item Open Access Content In, Content Out: The Dual Roles of the Reference Librarian in Institutional Repositories(2005) Hixson, Carol G.; Jenkins, Barbara; Breakstone, ElizabethThe development of institutional repositories has typically involved administrative and technical staff from libraries and campuses, with little input from reference librarians and subject specialists. Reference librarians have vital roles to play in helping to recruit authors to submit their content to institutional repositories, as well as in educating users to search such repositories effectively and retrieve the scholarly content from them. The experience that reference librarians have in searching a wide array of databases also enables them to provide a useful perspective on the design of effective search interfaces for institutional repositories. Experience at the University of Oregon demonstrates the efficacy of involving reference librarians in the design and development of an institutional repository from the beginning.Item Open Access Developing and Implementing 3D Printing Services in an Academic Library(University of Regina Library, 2016-03) van der Ven, GillianThis paper describes the implementation of 3D printing at the University of Regina Library and details successes, failures, and modifications made to better provide 3D printing services.

This article will look at the process that the University of Regina Library underwent in creating a Pinterest account: beginning with copyright considerations and questions used to determine whether content can be added; moving to the launch of the account and adjustment of how it is used, including a list of best practices coming from the research; and ending with potential usage in terms of teaching both within the library and for faculty and staff.Item Open Access Research and Scholarly Communication in the Humanities : New Partnerships Between Librarians and Scholars(University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2007-01-15) Hixson, Carol G.How is the digital age affecting the way that humanities scholars conduct their research and share their results? What role can and should academic libraries play in supporting the new research and scholarly communication models that are developing? No longer merely the passive recipients of the end results of research and scholarly communication, today's academic librarians are stepping out from behind their desks and playing an active role in helping researchers and scholars not only locate research materials, but also develop research proposals, carry out their investigations, and share the results of their research.
