Richard Hayman

I am a researcher-practitioner supporting students, faculty, and the entire university community. My areas of focus include scholarly communications and open access initiatives. My current subject librarian responsibilities include MRU's programs in English, Film Studies, Creative Writing, and Information Design, and I support these areas through information literacy instruction sessions, research consultations, and collections development work.

My current research initiative is an evidence synthesis project examining social media in undergraduate teaching and learning. My research team uses a Students-as-Parnters framework, working collaboratively with undergraduate student research assistants as co-creators of knowledge.
