Tell the library what you think - you could win a prize

We need your help in improving the resources and services we provide.

LibQUAL+ is an online survey that has been used by hundreds of universities around the world and allows libraries to gauge their performance, as well as compare themselves to other institutions.

The survey is completely confidential and takes only about 10 minutes to complete. All current UFV students, staff and faculty should receive an email message with the survey link - we hope that everyone who receives an invitation will participate.

In return for providing your feedback, you will have the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes, including:

Students	Employees
iPad Mini $50 Future Shop gift card $25 Future Shop gift card	$50 Restaurant gift card $25 Restaurant gift card

Films on Demand - NEW

We received a lot of great feedback from faculty about Films on Demand's Master Academic Collection, so we have licensed this collection through the BC Electronic Library Network.

Films On Demand is a Web-based digital video delivery service that allows you to view streaming videos from Films Media Group anytime, anywhere, 24/7!

UFV students and faculty can access a streaming video collection of 8,200 titles in a variety of academic subject areas.

• Humanities and Social Sciences
• Business & Economics
• Science & Mathematics
• Health & Medicine

Included with the subscription is access to FMG Archival Films & Newsreels Collection. Look for the option to limit your search to primary source newsreels.

Special features allow users the ability to organize and bookmark clips, create and share playlists, personalize folders, and manage their entire collection through a robust administrative reporting system

Click here for the title list; these are titles with Canadian distribution rights    The Master Academic collection currently sits a bit above 8,200 titles with more being added each month.  There are 2012 titles in FOD and it usually takes 2 to 6 months for new titles to be added to the platform

For more information contact Heather Compeau, or your liaison librarian.
