Despite the UFV libraries being closed for the foreseeable future, our book drops remain open at both campuses. As we are quarantining books and do not have library staff regularly on campus, there will be a delay in processing your books. So, do not worry if you have returned books and they still show on your account!
o Chilliwack
book drop: Outside south entrance of A Building
o Abbotsford
book drop: Outside north entrance of G Building

RESOLVED - EBSCO Databases Down
Update, 4:08 pm.
The situation below has been resolved.
There is a service outage with our EBSCO vendor. This is affecting all our EBSCO research databases, our FIND IT Discovery Service, our Books & DVD's catalogue and the Journals List.
The vendor is aware of the problem and is working on it.
In the meantime, databases from vendors such as Gale and Proquest are still working. You can also search our Classic catalogue for our books and DVD titles.

UFV Library Course Resources Service
Do you have course readings or media resources (images, films, etc.) that you need to digitize to put into your Blackboard courses? Library staff can help. We will take your course reading/learning resources lists, identify if the resources are already available in digital format in our licensed databases, and provide you with the permanent links. For other items, we will assess copyright implications and, if permitted, we will scan or digitize the item for you. If we cannot digitize content due to copyright restrictions, we will work with you to identify alternatives and find resources that will work for your classes.
Send us your course syllabus or resource lists as soon as
possible, before you head off on vacation.
Keep in mind that media requests are often complex and will require more
time to process. And please be prepared
to communicate with library staff over the summer to ensure that your resources
are ready in time for the fall semester.
To submit your requests, see Course Resources Services
(the orange box) here: https://library.ufv.ca/faculty/course-readings/
