The Library's new Books to Go service is now providing access to limited print collections.
As part of phased re-opening of services, the Library will be providing access to our print and physical collections through the use of contactless delivery by van (the ‘Bookmobile’) to pre-determined pick up locations for each campus. The Books to Go service is being made available to all Laurier faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate) and staff.
As part of our efforts to provide the research materials that you need for your research and study, the Library is now participating in the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) program as a member. This service provides emergency access to digital copies currently inaccessible in our collections during building closures.
This service will provide access to more than 300,000 print books and materials that have been digitized by HathiTrust and are also held by Laurier.
On Sunday July 12th the Library's Omni Discovery service will undergo maintenance by our vendor. During this time users may experience minor interruptions. Following the maintenance window we anticipate that changes will be present in Omni search features and results.
The Robert Langen Art Gallery will be hosting an online edition of their long-running Empty Bowls fundraiser for The Foodbank of Waterloo Region. The event is May 19, 2020 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and tickets are available at Eventbrite.
March 31st every year is the "International Transgender Day of Visibility". It's about celebrating trans people and their contributions to society, and raising awareness of the discrimination they face around the world. (See the Wikipedia page about it for a few more details.) Here are a few resources by or about trans people:
The Library’s eresources (ebooks, databases, journals, streaming videos, etc.) continue to be available off-campus through logging in with your Laurier network authentication.
In this unprecedented time, publishers and vendors are also responding to the call and making resources available in different ways. For example, ebooks in ProQuest Ebook Central, one of our main platforms, will be open for unlimited access, for a limited time.
The Library is working to provide discoverability to these eresources but most of these free access points will be found outside of Omni.
The book return bin at Waterloo campus Library is NOT AVAILABLE to return materials.
All Brantford Public Library (BPL) locations remain closed. ALL students, faculty and staff should hold on to borrowed items until Library facilities re-open.
