SPEC Kit 336: Responsible Conduct of Research Training · 41
No demand, no staffing
RCR-related training is mandated by the institution as part of the Canada Tri-Council framework.
The library has not considered responsible conduct of research training as a library responsibility before receiving this
SPEC survey.
The Office of Research Administration offers the expertise and breadth of information necessary for all researchers’ RCR
needs.
This is more of very recent university-wide initiative and the library has not taken the lead on this as yet.
We do cover plagiarism lightly when requested in our information literacy sessions. We also have an old LibGuide. We
also teach tools such as EndNote which the university has a site license.

We’re planning to develop workshops
Expanding workshops to support undergraduate research new workshops for international students.
We’re planning to add workshops
Currently planning to develop data management workshops for graduate students in engineering.
Planning sessions on rights management, copyright, and publishing agreements for graduate students expecting
to defend within a year. These would be offered through the graduate school as an optional offering. We are also
developing some online training—either videos or tutorials—related to data management for the sciences.
Plans are under way to develop a “personal data archiving” workshop.
The answer is actually “we are planning to develop…” and “we are planning to add….” Health Sciences Library plans
to add, and University Library plans to develop workshops.
We are working to make our plagiarism training more robust.
We expect to increase data management workshops for certain, and will likely continue increasing attention to avoiding
of plagiarism as well. Other areas are less certain, and less in the scope for the library.
Workshops targeting plagiarism education for international students.
