Open Textbooks Call for Proposals
To support instructors in creating new open textbooks and adapting existing ones for Queen's courses, Queen's University Library is coordinating the development of open textbook services in partnership with faculties and other units across campus. Funding for the current call for proposals is provided by the library and the Campus Bookstore. Advancing open education is a priority at the library and at Queen's. and along with provincial, national and international partners, we have been working to leverage digital opportunities to advance innovative, cost-effective scholarly communication models in a global knowledge commons.
The 2018 call for proposals will award up to seven grants to instructors. Three grants of up to $7,500 each will support the development of a new open textbook in an undergraduate course. Four grants of $800 each will be for the adaptation of an existing open textbook for use in an upcoming course or program.

Convocation - Faculty Attendance
Convocation marks an exciting milestone in the lives of our students. It is a commemoration of years of study and hard work. Much of this success owes to the mentorship of faculty. As we celebrate these achievements, we would like to encourage members of your Faculty to join us. Our graduands are always inspired by faculty attendance, and the Academic Processions add a great deal of significance to these events. This fall, there will be over 1800 undergraduate and graduate students receiving their degrees, diplomas and certificates.
There will be six ceremonies being held in Grant Hall from November 13 to 15. Faculty seating is prominent on the stage, which allows participants better sight lines as students are hooded individually. A full and detailed schedule of ceremonies for all Faculties and Schools, including Honorary Graduands, degrees and concentrations, can be found at: http://www.queensu.ca/registrar/students/convocation/ceremonies/fall-2018
Each member of your faculty has been sent an e-mail urging them to visit the Convocation website address, as well as providing instructions on what to do should they wish to attend. Any assistance that you or your office could provide to encourage their attendance would be greatly appreciated. The link to the site is:

Workshop: Research Collaboration with Indigenous Communities
The School of Graduate Studies, Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre, and the Aboriginal Council of Queen's University is offering a day-long workshop on research collaboration with Indigenous communities.
There is no cost for the workshop, but registration is limited to 100 participants and is open to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and community members. More information on the workshop can be found below.
Date:
Friday, November 9th, 2018
Time
: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
Venue
: Robert Sutherland Hall, room 202
This day-long workshop on the subject of "Negotiating Ownership and Control in Collaborative Research with Indigenous Communities" is part of a larger strategy at Queen's to foster a research training environment that is founded on ethical and responsible conduct of Indigenous research and will provide participants with a practical foundation in the key issues of ownership and control in research collaborations with Indigenous communities.
This workshop will have two parts:
The morning program consists of a keynote presentation by a former member of the senior leadership of the AFN and a panel of short presentations by members of NAFC, NWAC, and FNIGC who have direct experience in brokering relationships between academic researchers and Indigenous communities.
The afternoon program consists of small group discussions on selected aspects of ownership and control of research data (Privacy and Confidentiality, Building Relationships, Research Agreements, and Strengthening Research Capacity). A general discussion will conclude the formal proceedings. In addition, there will be a networking reception following the workshop.
