Experiential Learning as Archival Activation: Reflections on University of Calgary’s Student Archival Residency Project Phase One
Get PDFMusic archives hold unique value in understanding the process of creators and sparking creativity in new researchers through their exploration. The University of Calgary Archives and Special Collections preserves and shares the archives of prominent composers, record labels, musicians, and music historians. In 2024, three colleagues from University of Calgary Libraries and Cultural Resources were awarded funding from the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning to initiate an archives student-in-residence program. Through purposeful connection with archives, students, archivists and librarians, the project’s goal is to investigate the use of the archive as a site for experiential education.
This student-in-residence program invites three students over the course of three years to critically explore, analyze, synthesize, interpret, and activate three prominent music archival fonds: Norma Beecroft, Edith Fowke, and Melvin Crump. The principal investigators will work with the student residents through a process of co-inquiry to support them through the archival research process and applying creative approaches to the rich and varied archival materials maintained by Archives and Special Collections.
Through multiple iterations of residencies, one every year over the course of three years, team leads will be able to move beyond a single context and look for patterns that emerge from the collected experiences. This article explores and reflects on the first year of the project focused on the Norma Beecroft fonds and explores the goals of the long-term project into the coming years
Career Motivation, Job Satisfaction, and Emotional Fulfilment of Performance Librarians: An International Quantitative Study
Get PDFLimited empirical research exists on the career motivation and job satisfaction of performance librarians. This study provides an understanding of the emotional fulfilment of performance librarians, their self-selection into the profession, and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect their career motivation and job satisfaction. The self-determination theory, descriptive statistics, and exploratory factor analysis guide the study, supplemented by an online, self-administered questionnaire distributed internationally. The findings of this study indicate that for performance librarians, intrinsic factors matter more than extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors relate to working with music and musicians as well as the workplace environment. The extrinsic factors relate to satisfactory salary, job security, and benefits. Although the intrinsic factors appear to dominate the findings, this study concludes that the extrinsic factors are also pivotal in shaping their job satisfaction. This study provides insights relevant to approaches in education, mentoring and training, and the recruitment of performance librarians
