The University of Regina Library Author Program is designed to celebrate and honour the contributions to authorship made by University of Regina faculty, staff, students, alumni and retirees throughout the preceding year. The Program is intended to recognize the publication of new works such as books, edited proceedings, sound recordings, musical scores and film or video recordings. There were 22 participants that submitted their works to the 2019-2020 Program.

Due to COVID-19, we were unable to gather together for our 6th annual in-person event but we still found a way to celebrate works of authorship published 2019-2020 through the creation of an online booklet that highlighted each work of authorship. We have also created an online archive all of the previous five author recognition programs, and featured the celebrated works, photographs of past in-person celebrations, and links to previous print programs.
