Work with Us to Return Library Items

 

The UFV Library would like to remind our users that our book drops at both Chilliwack and Abbotsford are open 24x7, are accessible without entering a building, and that parking is currently free on campus.

• Abbotsford book drop: north entrance of G building
• Chilliwack book drop: south entrance of A building

We strongly encourage our borrowers to return items that they no longer need or to renew items that they are still using. If you need assistance, please contact either library. If you are currently residing outside of the lower mainland, there may be alternative options available to you for returning your library items.

For several months we have been offering Select and Collect, a curbside-like service that allows users to borrow items from our library despite the closure. We want to extend this service to include providing recalls on items that are checked out. To do this, we need your assistance in returning items that you are no longer using.

The library has not charged overdue fines during the pandemic. However, as some items will soon have been out of the library for one year, we need to account for them. Soon we will be processing replacement cost invoices for items that have not been returned or renewed. Students may experience loss of library privileges and inability to register for classes, obtain a transcript, or graduate. Please contact the library to see how we can work together to get items back into our collection.

Take care and stay safe!

CAN-CORE Academic Video (McIntyre Media)

 

 

Do you know that we have a new license for the CAN-CORE Academic Video Collection, which is a curriculum content streaming platform designed for Canadian high schools, colleges and universities? All videos on this platform are 100% Canadian produced.

This collection provides access to thousands of segments and full programs on various subject areas, including Criminal Justice & Law, Agriculture, Education, First Nations Studies, Canadian Social Studies, and more.

Here are some popular titles. 

“This documentary examines serious issues related to the globalization of superfoods, including unintended effects on food security, health, sustainable farming, and fair trade food practices.”

 

“In 1907 Dr. Peter H. Bryce, the Chief Medical Health officer for the Department of Indian Affairs wrote a report documenting the inhuman and unsanitary conditions in Canada’s residential schools.”

 

“Breaking Loneliness is a documentary about people finding ways to escape loneliness and social isolation. Loneliness is a social epidemic that is impacting all age groups around the world.”

 

You can search for the videos by keywords, browse the videos by subject areas, or select the filter “Indigenous content only” from the Search page. Many videos in this collection are produced by or are about Indigenous people. 

You can also access the CAN-CORE Academic Video Collection through the Library Databases. Select the “Articles & Databases” tab from the Library’s homepage and click “Browse all research databases” to access the A-Z Databases.

You may link to the videos in this collection or post a copy in Blackboard. Please see the Permitted Uses for this Database for more information.
