Hi everyone, my name is Natasha, and I’m one of your Library Ambassadors this term. A fun fact about me is that this term was the first time I set foot on campus despite being in my second year of Biomedical Sciences. Being a Library Ambassador has been such a great experience because I’ve had the chance to discover the Library in-person and learn about the many resources it has to offer.

Today, I am going to share some of the unique resources offered by the Library. Whether your classes are online or in-person, these resources are available to you!

Gardening is a great way to foster biophilia, which means love of life, a term popularized by the book Biophilia by naturalist E.O. Wilson.

Hi Waterloo!

Did you know that it's Media Literacy Week? Follow along to learn more about digital and media literacy by delving into the five different themes of this year: use, understand, engage, access and verify.

Understanding technology helps to recognize how it is affecting our behaviours, feeling, beliefs, view and perceptions about events from all over the world.  Media Literacy Week gives the exposure to information and resources about media literacy and technology in Canada. This year’s four themes include use, understand, engage, access, with a special focus on verify.

Where is a great place to find information about climate...the library! We’ve asked librarians Agnes Zientarska-Kayko (Environment, Enterprise and Development, Government Information and Statistics & Data) and Brie McConnell (Biology and Optometry), and Library Ambassador and PhD candidate Navya Vikraman Nair (Water Quality & Coastal Fisheries) for their perspectives on research, resources and more.

Hi Warriors,

Let’s face it, research can be difficult. We’ve all had to use research skills and conduct research once or twice within our lives. Whether it be for an assignment, class, or a job, research is commonly conducted by all. However, it doesn’t HAVE to be difficult. The library provides staff and students alike with a variety of resources to help ensure that your research needs are met, and your research can be conducted successfully without all the headaches and stress.
