Abstract

The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) Scholarly Communications Working Group (SCWG) surveyed COPPUL member libraries with a short questionnaire in November 2012. The stated purpose of the survey was to inform both the educational efforts of COPPUL with regard to scholarly communications, as well as the agenda of a proposed meeting of scholarly communication practitioners in COPPUL libraries. This paper discusses the results in the context of the formation of a Community of Practice (CoP) since conducting the survey. The paper concludes that a CoP has not yet formed; however, it presents the challenges with the formation of the CoP, identifies some of the actions taken so far, and makes recommendations for future direction for continuing to develop the CoP among COPPUL institutions.

Abstract

This article explores the background and process that led to the merger of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network / Réseau canadien de documentation pour la recherche and Canadiana.org in 2018. Seizing a moment of opportunity in a rapidly shifting digital research landscape, the two organizations “spun in” to each other in order to leverage their complementary mandates and overlapping memberships. The new merged organization is now better positioned to meet the challenges of collaborative work in research and Canadian heritage content acquisition and access., Cet article présente le contexte et le processus qui ont mené à la fusion du Réseau canadien de documentation pour la recherche/Canadian Research Knowledge Network et de Canadiana.org. Saisissant une opportunité dans un paysage de recherche numérique en pleine mutation, les deux organisations se sont rapprochées afin de tirer parti de leurs mandats complémentaires et du chevauchement de leurs membres. La nouvelle organisation fusionnée est maintenant mieux placée pour relever les défis du travail collaboratif en matière de recherche ainsi qu’en matière d’accès et d’acquisition de contenu du patrimoine canadien.
