Month: August 2025

We are happy to report that the Regina and Wascana Rooms, as well as our archival retrieval service, are now back to normal after a busy summer of basement renovations. Thanks for your patience and support!

The Dr. John Archer Library & Archives is excited to announce our new authentication system for access to electronic resources! Users will enjoy the same level of access as before, but with several additional benefits: 

• Log in and access electronic materials directly from publisher and journal websites
• Use of Shibboleth Single-Sign On (SSO) will reduce the amount of times users need to log in
• Greater privacy and security than previous authentication methods

Please note that EZProxy links will still work as the Library is transitioning to this new system. For questions, please email Library.Help@uregina.ca.

The University of Regina’s institutional repository, oURspace, will be migrating to a new national repository platform, Scholaris. As a result, oURspace will be unavailable from Monday, August 18 to Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

Once the migration is complete, oURspace will have a new URL. Redirects from the old address will be set up to help users transition smoothly.
