Presented as part of the Digitization 101 Pre-Conference Workshop of the Saskatchewan Libraries Conference, Saskatoon, May 3, 2007.Item Open Access Context and Digitization: Towards a New Model for Archives(2008-02) Vajcner, MarkWhile researchers are dependent on the soundness of archival records, most archival research is not based on a method that considers provenance, origins, and context carefully. Researchers may not be aware of the loss of context that is rampant with digitized archival materials and the corresponding loss of evidential and research value. The proposed thesis will examine current digitization strategies, and their shortcomings, by collecting experiences of both digitization practitioners and users. The final research aim is to identify the components necessary in building a digitization project model that is both true to archival principles and that is also an effective resource for archival researchers.Item Open Access Reaching Out from the Other Side of the Reference Desk: A User's Perspective on Evolving Library Services(2008-04-25) Vajcner, MarkAs service delivery models change, and as librarians increasingly reach out to their communities, some users reach back. The last few years have seen profound changes in the academic library environment reflecting seminal changes in academia. Publishing models, research tools, and scholarly communication have all been revolutionized. As libraries adapt, researchers do as well. This paper provides some personal reflections on the changing role of libraries.Item Open Access Submitting to the Campus Digital Archive : a Step-by-Step Guide(Dr. John Archer Library, University of Regina, 2009-07-14) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Provides screen-by-screen instructions for submitting materials to the University of Regina's campus digital archive.
