Abstract
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.
