Research in LCR

The archivists, librarians, and museologists in Libraries and Cultural Resources conduct research in a wide variety of areas, both in the disciplines covered by the Libraries and Cultural Resources umbrella and in other subjects.  Much of this work is carried out in collaboration with colleagues outside of Libraries and Cultural Resources, at the University of Calgary and elsewhere.  The results of this research is reported in articles, books, and other media and is frequently presented at conferences. 

Areas of research in Libraries and Cultural Resources include:

• Archival finding aids
• Collection management and development
• Exhibition catalogues
• Information commons
• Information literacy
• Material culture
• Numismatics
• Scholarly publishing
• Systematic reviews

All staff are encouraged to submit their publications and scholarly contributions to the University of Calgary's Institutional Repository  http://dspace.ucalgary.ca  and where appropriate to E-LIS Eprints in Library and Information Science http://eprints.rclis.org/
