Exceptional undergraduate experience

Leddy Library is pleased to announce the opening of a new breastfeeding room, designed to provide a private, safe, and welcoming space for parents on campus. The breastfeeding room reflects the library’s ongoing commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our campus community.

Equipped with amenities such as a refrigerator, electric kettle, comfortable seating, and a diaper change table, the space offers a supportive environment for parents to care for their children while balancing academic, work, and family responsibilities.

A new digital project introduces students to a university library and provides them with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with how to conduct academic research at the post-secondary level.

“Humanities Research in the Digital Age” spans five interactive modules and is the work of archivist Sarah Glassford and history professor Gregg French in collaboration with learning specialist Mark Lubrick with funding through a Digital Open and Online Learning Grant from the Office of Open Learning.

Journal agreements extend reach of University of Windsor research

The Leddy Library is signing agreements with academic journal publishers to make it easier for University of Windsor authors to publish their articles as Open Access. Open Access publishing allows authors to extend readership by reducing barriers to access, thereby increasing the impact and citability of the research.

The Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) will host an online forum in advance of Open Access Week.

The Leddy Library offers trials of new databases to allow students, faculty, and staff to evaluate the resource’s suitability and provide feedback before subscribing.  

A new website was launched to provide information on copyright law and fair dealing services offered in universities, colleges, and research libraries across the country.
 

Researchers looking to enhance their data skills are encouraged to join the Leddy Library for a series of workshops.
 

No “swiping right” this Valentine’s Day: go to Leddy Library to be set up on a mystery date with a book!
 
The Leddy team has carefully selected and wrapped eligible books that are waiting patiently for their special readers. The identity of the book won’t be revealed until the book has been checked out and unwrapped.
 
You can find your "mystery date" on the main floor of the Leddy Library from Feb. 6 to 17 while supplies last.
 
Take a chance… maybe you’ll meet your next favourite book.

Demonstrating a commitment to employment equity is something she tries to do every day, says associate university librarian Karen Pillon.

“Equity is not something we just do when we sit down at an employment equity table and we say now we’re going to use it,” she says. “It really has to be life-long.”
