Celebrating June with the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library

In celebration of both Pride and National Indigenous History Month, the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library has created a list of available resources from and about these two communities. Though this list merely scratches the surface of what’s available at the Library, it is a great starting point.
All of the books listed are available for curbside pickup. In order to arrange for pickup, users must first login to their Novanet account when browsing the catalogue and place a “hold” on a book. If users have any issues with their account they should email Janice Fralic-Brown at jbrown@nscad.ca

Regarding the ebooks and the streaming video titles from the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library databases, users will be prompted to login with their ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ username and password (same as ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ self-serv).

For more information about the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library and all of its valuable resources and services, visit their website:
