    Canada’s Largest Celebration of Reading

    by Sonya Leung May 3, 2021
    written by Sonya Leung

    … So they put on Andrew’s snowsuit. It had 15 zippers, 10 strings and 5 buckles. It took about an hour to get it on. When it was finally on Andrew walked out into the back yard, threw one snowball and said, “I HAVE TO GO PEE.”

    – I Have To Go! by Robert Munsch

    I grew up on the books written by Robert Munsch. In the 30+ years since I was a child, the landscape of Canadian Children’s Books have vastly expanded and I invite you to explore that landscape.

    During the week of May 2 – 8, 2021 our nation will be celebrating Canadian Children’s Book Week. Organized by The Canadian Children’s Book Centre this will be a week long celebration of Canadian children’s books and their authors.

    This year you can access The University of Alberta Library’s collection of Canadian Children’s Book Centre through our Curbside Pickup Service. Here is a small sample of our collection of Canadian Children’s Book Centre (limit to “Books”):

  • Staff Call-Out | What have I learned while working remotely?

    by Junelle Mah April 30, 2021
    by Junelle Mah April 30, 2021

    As we see another remote semester come to a close, it is sometimes surreal to think of how long we have been providing support for our U of A community from afar. We were curious to find out what kind of hacks, tips, or pearls of wisdom our colleagues had discovered after working from home, so we asked, What have you learned while working remotely? Doris Wagner, Librarian (Law, Sociology, MLCS, History,…

  • Our website’s search function is changing

    by Erin Sanderman April 28, 2021
    by Erin Sanderman April 28, 2021

    We are moving our existing search function (the field in the Search the Library box on our homepage) over to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). This will enable users to search our catalogue of physical items, eBooks and articles in one place. We hope that this change will eliminate much of the confusion caused by our current system where there are different search interfaces for articles and our library catalogue. This change is…

  • Henderson’s Directories & Wikipedia

    by Emily Zheng April 15, 2021
    by Emily Zheng April 15, 2021

    Last month, with the help of colleagues, I created a new Wikipedia page for the Henderson’s Directories! This was a project that combined two areas of my work that I never imagined could meet! City Directories  City directories were once commonplace. In the late-18th and early-20th centuries, they helped people navigate cities and find residents & services. Today, they give us a glimpse into everyday life in the somewhat-distant past. I think…

    Happy World Health Day! Were these normal times, everyone would be hunkering down in library spaces for that final push before end of term and our friends at the Healthy Campus Unit would have several fun and healthful diversions set up in their Wisdom Corners. Sadly, the majority of us are still working from home and we can’t take advantage of on-site Unwind Your Mind activities. In spite of this challenge, the…

  • Cats have invaded our chat service!!!

    by Guest Author April 1, 2021
    by Guest Author April 1, 2021

    We the kitty companions of the University of Alberta Library’s intrepid reference team are taking a stand. Today, what you know as “chat (emphasis on the hard – T) reference service” — will now be known as “chat (the much more refined French pronunciation – ʃa ) reference service.” But fear not gentle students and researchers, you can still expect the same purr-fessionalism and purr-spicacious services you would expect from our human…
