Emergency digital access to library materials remains in place for January

Due to the uncertainty regarding the impact of the Omicron variant, Libraries and Cultural Resources has reconsidered discontinuing HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) this month. HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service will now remain in place through January 2022 with ongoing monitoring of the situation. HathiTrust ETAS provides access to the digital version of thousands of items held in our physical collections. More than 26,000 titles have been accessed through the ETAS collection by UCalgary community since the summer of 2020.

The physical stacks in all UCalgary libraries will remain inaccessible to ensure compliance with the terms of the ETAS agreement. UCalgary faculty, staff and students can request physical items, which will be available for pickup on the hold shelf in their selected library. To request a physical book through the library, sign in and click on the red “Request” button on the book’s record page.

The Office of Experiential Learning at the Taylor Institute is looking for your help

The Office of Experiential Learning at the Taylor Institute is looking for your help in understanding barriers and solutions for inclusive access to experiential learning opportunities across campus, from all student perspectives. Experiential learning activities involve learning-by-doing, they happen on and off campus, in-class and outside of the classroom. Activities can include co-ops, research, capstone projects, case competitions, and more. Your responses will help inform strategies to reduce these barriers, toward a more equitable and inclusive campus.
