Community Scholars Program
The Community Scholars Program envisions a future in which Canadian nonprofit organizations are using, producing, and sharing research to build capacity and enhance their impacts in our communities.
Many researchers in Canada and around the world are studying social problems and possible solutions and publishing their findings in peer-reviewed journals. These journals are mostly inaccessible to the more than 170,000 non-profit and charitable organizations in Canada doing critical work on social issues including poverty alleviation, homelessness, education, and health care -- unless they are affiliated with a university. The Community Scholars Program (CSP) provides staff working at these organizations with access to academic titles at no cost. In addition, the program provides research support and consultations with librarians.
Qualifying Community Scholars -- staff of charities and non-profits in the partner universities' communities who are interested in accessing the latest research and knowledge to enhance their practice, have access to 20,000 journal titles and e-books. Community Scholars work in a variety of sectors including social and legal services, the arts, human rights and social justice, housing, physical and mental health, sustainability, and conservation.
Community Scholars can:
- search for, find, and read scholarly publications from anywhere they have an internet connection
- consult with a dedicated librarian
- host or participate in tailored research workshops, journal clubs, and other events
Community Scholars access research publications:
- To strengthen or develop programs
- For advocacy or policy-making
- For organizational management and decision-making
- To imagine new ways of doing things
- For personal and professional development
- To support funding applications
Led nationally by Simon Fraser University Library and in Ontario by McMaster University Libraries, Nipissing is thrilled to have been accepted in Ontario's first cohort of partnering libraries.
