Exceptional undergraduate experience

Starting this semester, when you

Treaty Canoe, a full-size art installation by artist Alex McKay (BFA 1990), will be on display in the Leddy Library’s Student Research Collaboratory for Treaties Recognition Week.

Treaties Recognition Week takes place the first week of November each year in Ontario and was introduced in 2016 as one way to honour the importance of treaties and to help Ontarians learn more about treaty rights and relationships.

The complete collection of The Windsor Review is now available online, thanks to librarians working with Leddy Library’s Centre for Digital Scholarship and scholarly communications.

The long-standing journal published biannually by the University of Windsor Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and the Department of English and Creative Writing operated as a print resource for over 50 years.

Leddy Library will conduct its English Conversation Group (ECG) — a weekly workshop that provides students the opportunity to practice their English — online this semester.

The group will discuss topics relevant to life in Canada and at the University of Windsor and will be joined by a few guest speakers over the course of the semester. Students who are interested in practising English in a casual and welcoming environment are encouraged to join.

The sessions will take place online using Blackboard Collaborate from Thursday, Sept. 16, to Dec. 9.

Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 7, the doors to the Leddy Library will be open to patrons for the Fall 2021 semester. Capacity will be set to 325 for September and may change during the semester.  

The library will be open Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, from 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM on Sunday, and will be closed on Saturdays.  

Patrons of the Leddy Library have access to physical resources from 16 partner institutions across the province through the academic search tool Omni.

In January 2020, the library implemented Omni, a collaboration between 16 university partner libraries to provide shared access to their collections. What’s new is its extension beyond digital assets.

The final recipe for the Indigenous History Month “Fry Bread Challenge” is from the Cree people of Moose Factory, Ontario.

Try this or any of the four recipes shared throughout the month and submit photos of your creations for a chance to win a copy of Tawâw: Progressive Indigenous Cuisine and a $50 grocery store gift card.

Ever wonder how the University of Windsor came to be? UWindsor Outstanding Scholars student Devon Fraser has captured the unique history with her capstone research project, Assumption College: Through the Decades.

Fraser, a history major and recent graduate, was part of the Outstanding Scholars program, which pairs high-achieving students with faculty and pays them to complete research outside class.

The 2020-2021 academic year is coming to an end. The Leddy Library is giving away a limited number of student appreciation bags to help you get through the exam period.
