    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.

    Archer Library Annual Report 2017-18
    (University of Regina Library, 2018-11) University of Regina Library
    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) University of Regina Library
    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.
