LIBRARY PROJECTS
Master of Social Work Capstone

The capstone presentation is a student-directed demonstration of beginning Master’s level practitioner
competence developed over the student’s career, a chronicle of career development and reflection,
and a glimpse into the students’ professional future learning through a plan for continued growth. It is
a scholarly and creative collection of artifacts accumulated through course work, field practicum, and
daily experiences that demonstrate the student’s ability to articulate a model of practice and sense of
the integration of the domains of professional social work. The capstone presentation culminates in all
students sharing their learning. The Library worked with the School of Social Work to digitize all MSW
Capstone video presentations and preserve at the RSpace Capstone Collection
(http://rspace.uwaterloo.ca/xmlui/handle/20.500.11895/73).

RSpace project

RSpace (http://rspace.uwaterloo.ca) is an open
access institutional repository provided by the
Lusi Wong Library for scholarly research produced
by members of the Renison University College
community. It enables members of the Renison
University College community to post, organize
and preserve their research and publications
online. After 16 months of planning, the project
was officially launched in January, 2017. The
project has interested several schools and faculty
in E-publishing, especially for self-archiving, E-
portfolio, knowledge management, and learning
objects. It is currently houses more than 140
items.

On February 4 2017 at the Ontario Library

Association Super Conference 2017, Tony Tin’s
presentation, “RSpace: A Responsive Institutional Repository That Supports University Research” was
well received by the conference participants.
