Abstract
Libraries endure.
This simple statement was proven over and over
again throughout the past year. As the university
switched between teaching modalities and managed
fluctuating on-campus student and faculty numbers,
the Dr. John Archer Library and Archives adapted at
every turn — ensuring that everyone was welcome,
in-person or virtually.
Archer’s faculty and staff repeatedly demonstrated
their commitment, their professionalism, and
most importantly their innovation in supporting
the teaching, research, and learning enterprise at
the University of Regina. Our people ensure that
libraries endure!
One of our key activities this year was to develop
an Archer specific strategic plan that supports and
helps advance the University’s 2020-2025 strategic
plan, All Our Relations. This activity demonstrated
to all of us how Archer contributes to the overall
mission of the University, and more importantly to
the learning and research goals of our students and
faculty. Libraries endure because we are relevant!
This year’s annual report also showcases another
critical library constituency – our donors. As you
browse the report you will see example after
example of how individuals from Regina and far
beyond insure that our research and teaching
collections and our physical environment are
continually renewed and kept relevant through
donations and partnerships. Committed life-long
supporters ensure that libraries endure!
Finally, the report shows the many and varied ways
that the Archer Library and Archives engaged with
the campus and broader community. From displays,
in-person and remote presentations and lectures,
the Library Award, and participation in activities
throughout southern Saskatchewan, our faculty and
staff were an integral part of life on campus, in the
city, and throughout the province. Libraries endure
because we are community!
No matter your relationship with the Dr. John
Archer Library and Archives, I hope that you see
your connection with us reflected in this report, and
I again want to personally thank everyone who has
contributed to our amazing success over the past year.
