    Ski Your Way Through Winter!

    by Laurel Warkentin December 15, 2022
    written by Laurel Warkentin

    Winter is here again on the prairies.  Whether you grew up here, or are experiencing an Alberta winter for the first time, enjoy time outdoors by going cross country skiing!

    The Augustana Library, in partnership with Augustana Campus Recreation, is home to the Dr. Garry & Dorothy Gibson Nordic Ski Library.  The ski library consists of 20 full sets of equipment, plus additional poles and boots. Anyone with a UAlberta ONEcard – students, staff, faculty and alumni – can borrow the equipment for 72 hour loan periods.

    Augustana Campus is fortunate to be on the edge of 16 km of groomed cross country ski trails in Camrose. The Stoney Creek Valley Trails are maintained by the Camrose Ski Club, and its northernmost point is less than a block away from Augustana Campus. So you don’t need a vehicle to drive to trails – just pick up equipment and walk outside to begin.  If you want to learn how to cross country ski, Augustana Campus Rec offers Learn-to-Ski sessions and Social Ski Meet-ups. Details can be found on the Campus Rec website, and their Instagram page.

    If you decide to make the one hour drive from Edmonton to take advantage of Camrose’s trails and the Nordic Ski Library, please check the Augustana Library hours before coming. Ski equipment must be returned during library opening hours.  You may also want to call ahead to confirm that your size is available.

    In addition to cross country skis, the Augustana Library has snowshoes, hockey skates, and hockey helmets available to borrow. So when you’re not in the library studying, borrow some gear and get active this winter!

  • To ILL or Not ILL?

    by Erin Sanderman October 4, 2022

    We have a pretty extensive collection here at the University of Alberta Library. Between print books & periodicals, electronic books, journal articles, streaming video and audio, and miscellaneous kits, games and more, there’s no lack of resources to explore. As Junelle explained in her recent post, there are limits to what we have access to. Sometimes we have to cast our nets wider and borrow items from libraries outside of the NEOS…

    by Junelle Mah September 27, 2022

    The University of Alberta Library fields a number of different questions through our service desks and chat service. A common question that regularly pops up involves the term Interlibrary Loan or ILL for short. But what is an ILL? An Interlibrary Loan refers to an item that does not exist within the U of A Library’s holdings, nor the holdings of NEOS, which is a consortium that U of A belongs to.…
