The Community Scholars Program: Strengthening A Culture of Shared Research, Learning and Knowledge Exchange
Thursday October 06, 2022
From 1:30pm to 2:00pm
Since 2017 the Community Scholars Program has connected researchers in BC-based non-profit organizations with access to published academic research together with supporting library services. In 2021, Community Scholars Librarians undertook work on a Theory of Change, reflecting on various inputs in order to consider the development of the Program to date, its values, and how it might effectively respond to the evolving needs of participating Community Scholars, even as the program matures into sustainability, and attracts new supporting organizations.
