- Beth Maddigan (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Libraries as Public ‘Homespaces’: Exploring Multiple Literacies through Community Pop-Up Art Hives.
- Graeme Campbell (Queen’s University Library), Michelle Lake (Concordia University Library), Catherine McGoveran (University of Ottawa Library), Post-depository: Investigating the Persistence of Federal Government Publications in Former Depository Libraries.
