________________________________________________________________
The Library’s University Authors Collection, located in
Special Collections, Main Library, is the repository for monographic publishing
by University of
Saskatchewan faculty and
staff. The Library actively collects published material by U. of S. authors. The University Authors Collection will be the featured exhibition
in the Main Library Link from January 9th to March 1st,
2006. A public reception in connection with the exhibition will be held on
Wednesday, January 18, 2006 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. in room 154 Main
Library. The criteria for inclusion into the University Author Collection are as
follows:
·
a book or a chapter in a book
(including edited/published conference proceedings), a translation of the same,
or a subsequent edition (not a reprint) of the same in any format;
·
authored, composed, edited, compiled
or translated by a U. of. S. faculty or staff
member;
·
published during the individual’s
U. of
S. employment or
retirement.
Works that are part a U. of S. published lectureship series, such as
the Sorokin Lecture Publications or the Whelen Visiting Lectureship Series are
also included in the University
Authors Collection.
This Library exhibition will be the
fourth highlighting our University Authors
Collection. In order to enhance this exhibition, we would like
to receive photographs and brief biographical information on our university
authors. Please send these items directly to Edna Warrington,
Library Fund Raising and Development Officer by email
[edna.warrington@usask.ca], by campus mail, or bring them to Library
Administration, Main Library, 1st Floor. Please note that all submissions must be in by
December 15th, 2005.
We would like to thank all
university authors who have donated and who continue to donate their
publications to the Library. In order to build and enhance our University Authors Collection holdings,
university authors, editors, and translators who have not yet done so are
invited to donate to the Library two copies of each of their publications.
One copy will be housed in the University
Authors Collection within Special Collections; the second copy will
be a circulating copy, which will be housed in the Main Library or the
appropriate branch library. Alternatively, please send order information
so that the Library can purchase the publications.
For further information, to donate
University Authors Collection
publications, or to inform us of the availability of publications, please
