External Review of the Library University of Regina 2017

Abstract

The University of Regina Library has a strong base on which to build, and a highly capable and well-respected new University Librarian. It is well respected provincially and nationally. A new strategic plan and vision that address the realities of digital scholarship, coupled with a deliberate change management process, will position the Library very well to move into a more central role at the University.

We have provided 26 recommendations that we believe can be accomplished through a concerted team effort in the coming three years. Top priorities for immediate attention include the preparation of a realistic and prioritized strategic plan, increased attention to internal communication, and reparation of relationships with central IT.
