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.
