Research initiative to reshape the role of libraries in multidisciplinary research

Six distinguished leaders in research and scholarship from across Canada and the United States will examine the progress of the initiative Academic Research and University Libraries: Creating a New Model for Collaboration, led by the Vice Provost of the University of Calgary. This investigation, supported by a $1-million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has provided funding for Calgary researchers in social and environmental sciences and the humanities during the past academic year. The reviewers’ comments will focus on the envisioned impact of the research at the University of Calgary on their own institutions.
