It’s that time of year – August is winding down, the summer heat is starting to simmer down, and a new school year beckons for UBC’s students, staff and faculty.
UBC Library is participating in a range of orientation sessions to help you prepare for the new term, which kicks off on Tuesday, September 3. See below for a summary of where we’ll be in the coming weeks – drop by, learn how the Library can support your needs, and pick up some great (and free) items, including bookmarks, pens, USBs, card sets and more!
The Library has also prepared new guides for undergraduate students, graduate students, distance education students, faculty and instructors, staff, alumni, and community users and visitors.
