Quiet in the libraries? Not so much…

Posted in General, Library Facilities by gordanavitez on Mar 30, 2009

We’re down to the final few weeks of the Winter Term…and the libraries are not exactly havens of peace and quiet. Group work is a major component of most programmes but we need to provide quiet study areas as well. The library staff at both campuses are working hard to accommodate these very different needs. Could we ask for your help? Please respect the need for quiet study space in these few final weeks.

Laptops…digital cameras…oh my!

Posted in Equipment by gordanavitez on Mar 23, 2009

It’s getting close to end of term…assignments and presentations are well underway. Have you thought about adding a little kick to your presentation by making a video or making up your own portfolio of pictures? Or maybe you need a little extra computer time to work on an assignment?

The libraries have digital cameras, digital video cameras and laptops available for 24 hour loan. Come into the libraries to book in advance, if you’re interested, and have a look at the types of equipment we have to offer.

The book launch held for Rev.

Munchies were enjoyed, discussion was lively and the crowd called for more! Keep an eye on the blog for future events being held at either of the campus libraries.
