Item Global public health policy transfer and dengue fever in Putrajaya, Malaysia: a critical discourse analysis(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012) Mulligan, Kate; Elliott, Susan J.; Schuster Wallace, CorinneThis study critically analyzed the operationalization and materialization of globally hegemonic dengue fever discourse at the local level in the city of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Textual analysis of the World Health Organization’s First report on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) (2010) identified three discursive strategies in the WHO’s effort to set the agenda for research and action on neglected diseases: the nomination of dengue fever as a disease of the impoverished and voiceless other; the predication of neglected disease status on environmental and behavioural uncleanliness; and the framing of so-called ‘pro-poor’ neglected tropical disease discourse as a new paradigm under which targeting these othered people, behaviours and environments is a key strategy for NTD management and control. Further analysis of the transcripts of 14 key informant interviews conducted with experts in public health, governance and urban development in Putrajaya found that discursive links between dengue and poverty contributed to the inappropriate transfer of globally dominant dengue control strategies to Putrajaya’s non-poor local environment. These findings indicate that endemic dengue emerged in Putrajaya in part because planners, health officials and residents reproduced in their plans, policies and behaviours the construction of the disease as one of the other. The findings call into question the characterization of dengue fever as a disease of poor people, unclean spaces and unsanitary behaviours, and raise new questions about the appropriateness of targeting NTD initiatives to the poor. The findings also highlight the need for locally appropriate public health policies for infectious disease control in non-poor environments.Item Rows of data: Assessing the impact of a multi-year "lesson study" in nursing(2013) Jennings, Eric; Vogh, Bryan S.Item Looking back to move forward: Using student performance to assess instructional effectiveness(2013) Moreton, Elizabeth; Conklin, JamieItem One core to rule them all: An analysis of YBP's CORE 1000 product for collection development(2013) Ireland, AshleyItem A unique evidence-based practice (EBP) course in a medical school(2013) Eldredge, Jonathan; Palley, TobyItem Investigating the scholarly communications needs of faculty at the University of Saskatchewan: Is there a role for the University Library?(2013) Dawson, Diane (DeDe)This study seeks to understand the current publishing behaviours and attitudes of faculty, across all disciplines, at the U of S in response to the growing significance of OA publishing and archiving. The broad objective of this research is to discover what the current and emerging needs of U of S researchers are in order to determine if scholarly communications services are in demand here. And, if so, to provide an evidence-based foundation for the potential future development of such a program of services at the University Library.Item Does the VIVO Harvester populate bibliographic references for an institutional instance of VIVO effectively?(2013) Eldredge, Jonathan; Kroth, Philip; Hannigan, Gale; Murray-Krezan, Cristina; Carr, Richard; Weagel, Edward; Hantak, ChadItem The value of library and information services in patient care: Results of a multivariate analysis(2013) Marshall, Joanne GardItem Narrative inquiry: Generating useful data for research questions(2013) De Long, KathleenItem The Canadian research-embedded health librarian experience: Results of a mixed methods study(2013) Dennett, Liz; Surette, Soleil; Chatterley, Trish; Greyson, DevonItem Impact of research on practice for Canadian academic libraries(2013) Murphy, SharonItem Digital literacy skills as determinants of job satisfaction and career progression of academic library staff(2013) Itsekor, Victoria; Oyewole, Oluwatofunmi JesudunniItem Methods for studying customers’ use of the physical space at Edmonton Public Library(2013) Wortman, BethItem Don't lose it - use it!

Support for the efficacy of the one-shot library instruction session(2013) Hayes-Bohanan, Pamela; Spievak, Elizabeth R.Item Social Media and Copyright(2019-05-30) Bosher, HayleighSince copyright protects books, films, music, art and images, we evidently need to use copyright protected works in our teaching for illustration, reference and resource. On top of this, social media is being increasingly used in the classroom, and as a medium for teaching and learning. However, many teachers and lectures are unaware of the copyright implications of social media use. There are certain exception to copyright which allow for free use of the material without permission, however these are qualified and narrow. If a teacher is using social media, this would fall outside the remit of the educational exception. Other exceptions could be explored such as critique or quotation which may apply in certain circumstances. One of the key issues with using social media is that once content is uploaded to a platform, the platform is granted the right to share it, under the user agreement. This means that often users are licensing their work without knowing it, or worse, sub-licensing someone else's work without permission! Social media user agreements are controversial, and leave users vulnerable to copyright infringement claims. Social media can be a valuable teaching device to enhance student experience and engagement, as long as risks are appropriately mitigated. This presentation will take a look at using copyright protected materials and social media in higher education. In particular, it will consider risk management, relevant exceptions and the controversial nature of the terms of use.Item OA policies & traditional publishing agreements: Status of non-exclusive licenses in Canadian copyright law?(2019-05-30) Graham, Rumi; Bell, Allan; Lapierre, Dominique; Swartz, MarkTo ease the problem of paywall-blocked access to scholarly articles arising from publicly funded research, some universities have adopted a rights-retention OA policy. In this type of policy, faculty grant to the university a blanket non-exclusive license to make the accepted manuscript version of their scholarly articles publicly available in the university's research repository. But what happens if a university adopts an OA policy and faculty subsequently continue to sign publishers' standard publishing agreements that typically require an author to either transfer all copyrights or provide an exclusive license to the publisher? This presentation outlines a project that explores this question within Canadian copyright law.Item Crown copyright: More than just an outdated provision(2019-05-30) Wakaruk, AmandaPresentation at ABC Copyright 2019. Conference program abstract: Section 12 of the Copyright Act is at odds with the aims of Open Government and many government works have become inaccessible, or even been lost due to Crown copyright chill. This session will report on recent advocacy work to persuade Canada's federal government to update an antiquated and undemocratic copyright provision.Item CUSMA & Technical Protection Measures(2019-05-30) Tiessen, RobertIf CUSMA (aka USMCA or MUSCA) is ratified it will severely limit the ability of the Canadian Government to limit the impact technical protection measures on Canadians and Canadian libraries. Section 41 of the Copyright Act is already a Canadianized version of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. After CUSMA is ratification, the Government will be extremely limited in making any changes to Section 41 of our Copyright Act because of the limits placed on Canada (and Mexico and the US) by the trade agreement. Going against CUSMA would require Canada to either convince both of its trade partners to amend CUSMA; or it would need to withdraw from the agreement. This presentation will take a look at how TPMs have evolved in international arena from the WIPO Copyright Treaty in 1996 through to current times. Then it will look at what kind of flexibility and exceptions CUSMA does allow member countries and what kinds of regulations or amendments to the Copyright Act that we might want to lobby for.
