2022-2023

Library Research Forum

Concordia’s 21st annual Library Research Forum was, for the first time, held as a two-day hybrid event, with presentations taking place virtually on Zoom on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, and presentations taking place in person at Concordia University’s Loyola Campus on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Both days were open to all registered to attend, and recordings were made available to participants following the event for those who were unable to take part live. Presentation topics included EDI, software selection, research impact factors, open access, and Canadian census data. This year’s plenary speaker was leading national and international expert on copyright and information policy, Victoria Owen, Information Policy Scholar-Practitioner at the University of Toronto who spoke about libraries and accessibility in an international context in her session entitled “Champions of Accessibility: A Call to Action for LIS Practitioners.” The Research Forum Committee for 2023-2024 was composed of Christine Smith (chair), Pat Riva, Larry Deck, and Aeron MacHattie with support from Kate Ripley, Miranda Monosky and Luminita Florentina Draia.

Researcher-in-Residence

Concordia Library welcomed its 6th researcher in residence, Stephanie Hornstein, in the fall of 2023. Stéphanie Hornstein is a course instructor and PhD candidate in the department of Art History at Concordia. Her doctoral research is concerned with tracing patterns in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century travel photographs of the broad region which was designated by Westerners as the “Orient.” Her particular focus is on themes that are common across photographic representations of Japan and Egypt. Her writing has appeared in Ciel variable, History of Photography, and RACAR, among other publications.

As researcher-in-residence at Concordia Library Ms. Hornstein undertook her research project “Journey Through the Stacks: The Shelf-Life of Photographically Illustrated Travelogues, 1880-1930.” As part of the residency, she focused on the Library’s illustrated travelogues from the circulating collection.

The Library’s researcher-in-residence program has as one of its goals to foster a culture of research. The program was created as part of the Library’s Strategic Plan 2016-2021, in order to promote research in the Library and the use of research by librarians. The program offers the opportunity for scholars or doctoral students to focus on an area of inquiry in a supportive and enriching environment and to interact with Concordia Library staff and resources.
