While libraries were in a better position than most sectors due to decades of experience in licensing and acquiring digital content and offering virtual services such as chat reference, there still were some services and resources that traditionally had only been offered in a face-to-face environment, or were available in print only. There were questions in the Canadian library community about how, and if these programs could be delivered online and comply with Canadian copyright law. This article will describe the access and copyright challenges that Canadian libraries faced during the first nine months of the pandemic and will outline the collaborative efforts of the Canadian library copyright community to respond to these challenges.Item Open Access Treasuring Robinson Crusoe: 300 Years of Adventure Symposium(University of Regina Library, 2019-11) Quiring, Arlysse; Cawood, Jason; Shires, MichaelTo help celebrate the 300th anniversary of the publication of the book Robinson Crusoe in 1719, the University of Regina Dr. John Archer Library, in partnership with Luther College, hosted a day-long symposium titled Treasuring Robinson Crusoe: 300 Years of Adventure Symposium.

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.

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 Introduction to implementing an institutional repository(University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2007-09-21) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Presentation made to Technical Services staff on September 21, 2007.Item Open Access Implications of CIHR Policy for CARL Members : A presentation on behalf of the CARL IR Working Group(University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2008-04-15) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-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.Item Open Access Cataloging for the 21st century : a proposal for continuing education for cataloging professionals(American Library Association, ALCTS, 2003-08-08) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-; Canaan, Judith P.Proposal prepared by the Continuing Education Task Force.Item Open Access Core cataloging for serials: an administrative perspective(Serials Review, 2001) Hixson, Carol G., 1955-Item Open Access Do You Approve of Approval Plans? : Proof of Concept in College/University Library Partnership Environment(2008-02-14T21:05:57Z) Ashoughian, Gohar; Eykelhof, AlexanderApproval plans are common instruments for collection development in the university library setting, however very few community colleges use this approach in their practice.

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.
