Want to learn more about British Columbia? Then you’ll be happy to hear about BC Books Online, a project that features a digital collection of non-fiction books all about the province – and includes UBC Library as a participant.
In 2007, a consortium of library organizations and publishers initiated the project, which supports equitable access to all British Columbians using Internet technologies and collaboration between libraries and the public sector.
BC Books Online marks the first-ever collaboration between publishers and libraries with the goal of delivering digital content throughout the province.
The collection includes books on history, natural history, Aboriginal culture, arts and culture, political commentary, the environment and other contemporary issues. Find out more about the project at www.bcbooksonline.ca.
