LTS Annual Report 2023

PAGE 6 LIBRARY AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES - - - - • Our Science Librarian worked with Yvonne Lee, Program Director of Graduate Writing Support in the Graduate Life Office, to help Psychology grad students through the ins and outs of the literature review process. As an exercise, attendees at the session took cards describing elements of the research and writing process and put them into a logical order. The ensuing discussion highlighted best practices for effective searching while also making space for the individ ual differences that arise between researchers. • With a group of first-year students, our Education Librarian explored the question of how archiving, a practice often seen as liberatory, might run counter to the needs, philos ophies, and sovereignty of a community. Together they used Hopi legal scholar Trevor Reed’s work on “The Right to Be Forgotten,” to look at case studies on North American Indigenous archives, objects, and rituals, defining concepts like care, harm, repatriation, and dignity. Students also dis cussed how digital spaces can reimagine the preservation of Indigenous cultural heritage and traditional knowledge through an analysis of the archiving platform Mukurtu.
