The Library is delighted to share its 2022 Annual Report. 

Special Collections & Archives (SCA) at the University of Waterloo Library has launched an Oral History Hub on the Waterloo Digital Library, providing access to interview recordings, including transcripts, that actively document Waterloo’s history through the lived experiences of our staff, faculty and students.  

The Library is celebrating Open Education Week March 6–10, which seeks to raise awareness about innovative Open Educational Resources (OER) and practices worldwide. 

In our changing world, the University of Waterloo has a developed reputation for innovation and excellence and the Library supports this mission by being a partner in learning, research and innovation. The Library is committed to the principles of EDIA and drawing from its values, we aim to help advance our strategic goals of catalyzing learning and research, engaging with our community and growing as a learning organization. 

The Library is thrilled to share that Staebler Insurance has made a $100,000 gift to support our OER Fellows Grant. This initiative, launched in 2022, is a program that offers competitive grants of $5,000 each to instructors to help create or adapt an open educational resource (OER) for a UWaterloo course. This generous gift from Staebler Insurance will allow the Library to offer these grants for the next five years.
