    Against the Odds: Reflections on Asian American Identity and Multicultural, Shared Leadership in Academic Libraries
    (Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2017-03-28) Lim, Adriene
    The author of this essay describes her personal experiences as an Asian American woman, and the influence of these experiences on the multicultural, shared-leadership practice she brings to academic libraries. Drawing upon over two decades of library management and leadership experience, the author reflects upon the reasons why more Asian Americans and members of other marginalized groups are needed within academic library leadership, and why existing biases and persistent discrimination have made it difficult for them to attain these roles.

    Content In, Content Out: The Dual Roles of the Reference Librarian in Institutional Repositories
    (2005) Jenkins, Barbara; Breakstone, Elizabeth; Hixson, Carol G.
    The development of institutional repositories has typically involved administrative and technical staff from libraries and campuses, with little input from reference librarians and subject specialists. 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.

    Research and Scholarly Communication in the Humanities : New Partnerships Between Librarians and Scholars
    (University of Regina, Dr. John Archer Library, 2007-01-15) Hixson, Carol G.
    How is the digital age affecting the way that humanities scholars conduct their research and share their results? What role can and should academic libraries play in supporting the new research and scholarly communication models that are developing? No longer merely the passive recipients of the end results of research and scholarly communication, today's academic librarians are stepping out from behind their desks and playing an active role in helping researchers and scholars not only locate research materials, but also develop research proposals, carry out their investigations, and share the results of their research. Carol Hixson, University Librarian at the University of Regina since September 2006, shares some of her thoughts and experiences on how she hopes to foster these new partnerships at the University of Regina.
