University of Regina library expanding services for alumni
Members of the 70,000-strong University of Regina Alumni Association will now have access to more materials at the University’s Dr. John Archer Library.
By purchasing an Alumni Library Card, alumni have been able to visit the Dr. John Archer Library and borrow books and other materials, including audio recordings and government publications. Now the card will also provide access to thousands of electronic journals and databases.
“The Archer Library is pleased to offer enhanced services and access for alumni,” said University librarian Brett Waytuck. “No matter where they live, work, or travel, all of our alumni will now be able to access many valuable on-line resources through the Archer Library.
“Almost half of the University of Regina’s alumni identify life-long learning as important to their continued relationship with the University,” he added, and these expanded services enable alumni access to a great number of materials that enhance learning.
“We’re really pleased to extend the list of benefits the University offers to its nearly 70,000 alumni to include access to the Library’s electronic resources,” said Peggy MacDonald, director of Alumni and Community Engagement at the University of Regina. Alumni can obtain a library card from the Alumni Relations Office at the University’s main campus (210, Paskwaw Tower). The cost of the Alumni Library Card is $25; however the cost is reduced to $15 when alumni sign up for the Perks Pass at
