The Library is pleased to share its 2023 Annual Report.  

This year’s report pays tribute to the place of the Library on campus, both past and present, while also looking ahead to consider how we can re-imagine the Library of the future to provide services and collections that support scholars and researchers in a rapidly changing information landscape. 

The Library recently welcomed Kevin George (BA '22) as our new associate director, Indigenous initiatives. Kevin is Fish Clan Potawatomie/Cree. He is a member of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation with relations at Fort McMurray 468 First Nation. 

The Library is pleased to announce four dynamic projects have been selected to receive a 2024-25 Staebler Insurance OER Fellow grant this year: 

As part of the Library’s mission to make learning materials freely accessible and available, the Staebler Insurance OER Fellows Grant supports the creation of open education resources (OER) at Waterloo. The Library, with the generous support of Staebler Insurance, provides Waterloo instructors with competitive grants of up to $5,000 each to help create or adapt OER for use in a Waterloo course.  

As we prepare to announce a new round of grant recipients during Open Education Week, we’re reflecting on the progress the 2023-24 fellows have made on their projects.
