On May 29-30th 2013 the University of Windsor played host to the International Symposium on Arab Youth: Developmental Pathways for Identity. The conference organizers, Julie Hakim-Larson and Rosanne Menna, have worked with the Leddy Library to help provide access to the posters and presentations from the event. The results are now starting to be made available in the Scholarship at UWindsor institutional repository and can be found at the link below. Take some time to take a look or even explore the contents from other departments on our campus.

A new feature on the library website is a browsable index of our electronic dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks which can be filtered by subject area. If you're looking for reference resources please take a look here for easy online access!

We now have a new page: http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/dictionaries-encyclopedias-handbooks where you can find many of the scholarly dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks on offer that are online from Leddy

DID YOU KNOW… Over 1 million students have come through our doors this year alone!

Who wants to study in a dirty and smelly environment? We sure wouldn’t and neither should you! When you come to Leddy to study, please be mindful of your neighbours – we ask that you follow these tips so that everyone who comes to study here can have a positive experience:

1. If you are bringing in a drink, please keep a lid on it

2. If you’d like to eat, please do so at William’s café

The Leddy Library does not accept bitcoin... but our UWin cash machine was refurbished on Friday and so we are now able to accept ALL new monies, loonies, toonies and the new 'plastic' bills. 

The Leddy Library supports the Canadian Library Association’s position on the libel suits against Dale Askey and urges Edwin Mellen Press to cease all remaining legal action in this regard. The Leddy Library considers these suits to be an affront to intellectual freedom.

Freedom to Read Week is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom, which is guaranteed them under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

When you can find ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ readily available at your local grocery or drugstore, do we even need to worry about the Freedom to Read anymore?

Yes.

The Leddy Library can now be found in the University of Windsor's mobile app.

At the moment, you can check with a glance whether the library is open and with just a click, you can see what books you have out and when they are due back at the library.

The Leddy Library extends a hearty congratulations to the staff of The Paul Martin Law Library for their Service Excellence – Team award they received yesterday as part of the University of Windsor Employee Recognition Awards. Indeed, congratulations go out to all those who were recognized at yesterday's celebration.
