Research and graduate education

Starting this semester, when you

While libraries across Canada celebrate geographic information systems Nov. 17 as GIS Day, Leddy Library’s geospatial data analyst Carina Luo decided to use the technology to raise awareness about the ongoing water crisis in First Nation communities.

UWindsor English professor Thomas Dilworth’s commercially published biography on war veteran and artist, David Jones, is now available as an online resource, thanks to Leddy Library.

The new digital version is a slight revision of the original transcript that is three times longer than the print publication and includes 174 more reproductions of Jones’ artwork.

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.  

Personal study rooms will be made available at Leddy Library this week.

Students can now reserve a three-hour time slot in the morning or afternoon to access a dedicated quiet study space in the library.

Access to computer workstations will resume at Leddy Library next week.

Computer workstations will be available for reservation starting Monday, March 1. The doors of the library continue to be locked and only those who have scheduled an appointment will be permitted to enter the library and must show approval from the Safe Lancer app.

Students and researchers seeking to learn more about applying data and statistical analysis to their research can now take advantage of a series of research data online workshops.

Librarians and data experts at the Leddy Library’s Academic Data Centre have curated a total of 12 workshops designed to introduce students to both geospatial and numeric datasets using geographic information systems and statistical applications as well as research data management support.
