Item Open Access Academic Librarians, Open Access, and the Ethics of Care(University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2021)This paper explores the value of applying the ethics of care to scholarly communications work, particularly that of open-access (OA) librarians. The ethics of care is a feminist philosophical perspective that sees in the personal a new way to approach other facets of life, including the political and the professional. Care, in this context, is broadly construed as “a species of activity that includes everything we do to maintain, contain, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible” (Fisher & Tronto, 1990, p. 40). Joan Tronto outlined four elements of care: attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and responsiveness, and highlighted the value of care beyond the domestic sphere (1993). The ethics of care values care and relationships as instructive ways of framing and examining work, and has been applied in diverse disciplines, including education, nursing, social work, and even business. Several LIS professionals have considered the ethics of care in the context of library technologies (Henry, 2016) and digital humanities (Dohe, 2019), among others. The ethics of care can also provide inspiration for OA librarians as we think about the scope and nature of our work. What could open access librarians learn from the ethics of care? How might our practice change or evolve with the ethics of care as an underpinning philosophy? Who do we include in our circle of care while we undertake our work? The ethics of care provides a more expansive way to think about OA librarianship.Item Open Access AI, Bias, and Libraries(2024-05-03) Ramshaw, VeronicaItem Open Access Archer Library Information Literacy Instruction Program(Dr. John Archer Library, University of Regina, 2007-01-17) Phelps, Charles; Bradley, Cara; Magee, Elizabeth; Perry, Ed; Rothecker, JenniferItem Open Access Archives and Social Media(2011-07) Vajcner, MarkThis report examines the growing use of social media by archives through a short literature review and survey of various Canadian archives and archivists.

G. Hixson, 1984-08-22) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Will library patrons be receptive to an online catalog? In a study at Bryn Mawr College Library, users' perceptions of the existing card catalog and their attitudes towards computers were investigated in an attempt to discover the difficulties facing library planners in designing and implementing an online catalog. Results show that users are content with the current card catalog and hesitate changing to a new system. 56% would prefer to keep the card catalog rather than switch to a computerized catalog containing identical information. When the pie is sweetened by indicating that more information and greater convenience could result from an OPAC, only 17% still prefer a card catalog. Studies of use of the public OCLC terminal in Bryn Mawr's main library indicate that confusion and timidity prevent many from utilizing the facility. Greater effort at educating users is needed in order to overcome their resistance to online catalogs.Item Open Access Building a Digital Collection in CONTENTdm®(University of Oregon Libraries, 2004-04-15) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-; Harper, Corey A.The presentation provides an overview of how to build a digital collection using CONTENTdm® software.

Hixson, 1975-04) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-In February of 1966, Camilo Torres-Restrepo, the priest-turned guerilla, was killed during a clash with government troops in Santander Province in Colombia. The government secretly buried his body in an unmarked grave in an effort to prevent his elevation to the state of a martyr. In the face of riots, rallies, and promises of vengeance, coming primarily from students, the oligarchy outwardly lamented the loss of the sheep gone astray. "El Tiempo", one of the primary organs of the oligarchy, wrote, "Unfortunately his very vocation of service, which was generous and unselfish in him, carried him to extremes and led him first to separate from the priesthood and then to change his cassock for the clothes of a guerilla, in a country where today such activity lacks all justification and even all revolutionary significance." In that same year, in Colombia's mammoth neighbor to the east, Brazil, students were protesting the abolition of the direct vote for the upcoming presidential elections. Alarmed at the virulent manner in which the "revolutionary " government was repressing the protests, the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Dom Helder Camara, began establishing for himself the reputation of being the Red Archbishop by supporting the students and by expressing concern over "the violations against the living temple" (physical violence) perpetrated by the government. This paper examines the stories of these two priests-turned-revolutionaries.Item Open Access Campus Art Collection: Open to All(2016-02-29) MacDonald, CarolThe University of Regina art collection is described including donations to the collection, themes of the collection and how it is managed by the President's Advisory Committee on Art.Item Open Access Campus Disconnect: Academic Libraries and the Information Needs, Skills, and Behaviors of Non-Teaching University Staff(University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2009-03-13) Bradley, CaraPaper originally presented at the ACRL 14th National Conference, March 13, 2009 in Seattle, Washington.
