A new grant will help support the development of the Koerner Library Research Commons on the Vancouver campus.
UBC Library, in collaboration with the University’s Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) and the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FOGS), was recently awarded a UBC Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) grant for 2012/13 to support the development of services and staffing for the Research Commons.
The grant will provide funding to hire a team of graduate students from across disciplines to help rollout two new services in September: thesis formatting and citation support, and an interdisciplinary research discussion series.
Many thanks to those at the Library, CTLT and FOGS for contributing to the grant application.
