Background
Keeping It ReAL: Research in Academic Libraries was initiated in 2016 by UBC iSchool Associate Professor Heather O’Brien and developed in consultation with four academic librarians: Holly Hendrigan (SFU), Erin Fields (UBC), Jo-Anne Naslund (UBC) and Christine Walde (UVic Libraries). The committee’s goals were to establish a free regional workshop for academic librarian researchers and foster a research culture among participants.
