The UBC Reading Rooms’ website, which has been created in collaboration with some of the reading room coordinators on the UBC campus, is now live!
Over the past year, we have been working with other reading room coordinators to help make our database of holdings more accessible to the members of the UBC community. Given that our resources are not searchable through the UBC Library, we have created the UBC Reading Rooms’ website where students, faculty, and staff can search our unique holdings.
The website currently has eight members, including our CTLT Resource Room, Crane Library, Museum of Anthropology Reading Room, Computer Science Reading Room, Architecture Reading Room, Geographic Information Centre, Landscape Architecture Reading Room, and UBC Botanical Garden Library and Reading Room. The UBC Reading Rooms are independently managed resource centres and libraries on the Point Grey campus that support the UBC departments that fund them. Holdings include books, journals, e-resources, photographs, archives, and alternate format materials. Many of the items are unique and will not be found within the UBC Library system or anywhere else in the Lower Mainland.
This website allows the members of the UBC community to access all the reading rooms’ databases of holdings and inquire about specialized resources that we offer. It also provides us with a space to share events and workshops that take place in each of the reading rooms.
We invite you to explore what’s available on the Reading Rooms’ website.
