Purpose

The Report on Librarian Research provides an overview of the research funding and knowledge

exchange of librarians within the University Library at the University of Saskatchewan to demonstrate

the library’s strategic commitment to intensifying the research activity of its librarians.

Awarded Research Funding

In the 2015–2016 fiscal year (May to April), librarians in the University Library submitted a total of 10

grant applications. Of these 10, 7 grants were successful (a 70% success rate), and the total dollars

awarded was $91,058. (Note: Funding is recorded according to award date, not application date.) One of

those successful grants was a SSHRC Insight Development Grant ($54,167)—the first one ever awarded

to a librarian.

7 grants = $91,058

The following graph and table illustrate the research funding trends over the previous five fiscal years.

The graph shows the total awarded funding across the five years, and the table shows a breakdown of

awarded funding by category. Awarded research funding includes all funding (both internal and

external) awarded to librarians that contributes to the development and success of a program of research

from development funding (e.g. Faculty Recruitment and Retention Grant, Proposal Development

Assistance, Visiting Lecturer Fund) to research funding (e.g. U of S President’s SSHRC, SSHRC Insight

Development, Community Engaged Scholarship Grant) to dissemination funding (e.g. U of S

Conference Fund Grant, Publications Fund, SSHRC Connections).

Featured Researchers

Selinda Berg

The University Library has established the Researcher-in-Residence Program

as part of its effort to develop and nurture a research culture and the research

capacity of librarians. The Program provides dedicated office space, access

to computing facilities, support, and other support-in-kind for a visiting

professional (educator or practitioner) to spend a period of time at the

University Library. In welcoming the Researcher-in-Residence into our

community, the Program provides opportunities for participation in library

meetings and activities, events, and professional development sessions.

In 2015–2016, we were extremely fortunate to have Selinda Berg from the

University of Windsor as our Researcher-in-Residence. During her residence, Selinda was able to work

on multiple research projects and complete a substantial component of her dissertation. The Researcher-

in-Residence Program provided her with the space, resources, and collegial support she needed to be

productive during this critical time in her PhD program. She also was able to immerse herself in the

research culture at the library and to be a part of the C-EBLIP initiatives. Contributing to a strong

research culture in Canadian academic libraries is a focus for Selinda’s research and service, and she

took away many insights from her time at the Centre.

According to Selinda, she enjoyed seeing C-EBLIP's new Research Network evolve from an idea into a

functioning network within C-EBLIP. She appreciated many inspirational and thoughtful conversations

with Virginia Wilson, Director of C-EBLIP, imagining what the Network could become and, as one of

the many voices contributing to the vision, relished in what can come out of shared wisdom. Selinda’s

involvement in the multiple initiatives that support and grow the research capacity of the librarians at the

U of S helped her to reflect on her own role in supporting and growing this research capacity. This

experience validated her previous challenges in trying to build a strong research community at her own

institution—particularly in the need to balance the desire to address the wide range of experiences in

multiple initiatives with the recognition that one cannot be everything to everyone. While the challenges

exist, seeing the success, the accomplishments, and the pride that emerges from librarians’ research

endeavours is well worth the attention and effort.

Not only was Selinda able to benefit from her residence with us at the University Library, but we also

had the opportunities to learn and grow from Selinda. As part of her commitment to the Researcher-in-

Residence Program, Selinda conducted the very first—and very well received—pre-Symposium

Workshop at the C-EBLIP Fall Symposium on turning a research idea into a research question. She also

facilitated a discussion with C-EBLIP members on navigating and engaging in research dissemination

and presented a talk to University Library employees on undertaking a doctoral degree.

Karim Tharani

Spring of 2015 was tremendously successful for Karim

Tharani. He was awarded a Social Sciences and Humanities

Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Development Grant in

the amount of $54,167 for his project “A model for searching

the Deep Web using Linked Data.” Karim is the first librarian

to receive a SSHRC Insight Development Grant. Not only

was he successful with SSHRC, Karim was also awarded a

Community-Engaged Scholarship Grant in the amount of

$6000 for his community project “At the nexus of traditions and technologies: Utilizing educational

technologies to improve transmission of oral traditions in visible minority youth.” These projects will

certainly keep him busy while he is on sabbatical in 2016–2017!

Karim’s project on the deep web and linked data investigates if web searches using Linked Data yield

new and better knowledge resources for academic research than commercial search engines like Google.

According to Karim, developing bibliographic metadata enriched with Linked Data will not only be

readable by humans (as in the current web) but will also become comprehensible by machines. This

awareness of data by machines could allow web searches to provide much more accurate search

results—such as, for example, the ability to distinguish between a book written about a person as

opposed to a book written by a person. In his second project, Karim is working with the Saskatoon

Ismaili community on a pilot project to investigate the efficacy of using modern educational

technologies (including use of devices and web-based and multimedia resources) to teach and transmit

oral traditions to younger generations. Karim believes the successful transmission of oral traditions to

successive generations is crucial in safeguarding oral traditions for ethnocultural communities, including

Aboriginal communities. However, community elders and educators still debate whether technology-

based interventions can help or hinder younger generations in learning oral traditions.

Karim's success on the local and national stages is a reflection of the evolving research culture within

the library and of his dedication and drive towards research excellence.
