APA Style Guides Go Green
In an effort to reduce its environmental footprint, Library Services will no longer be providing paper copies of How-to Guides, including the American Psychological Association (APA) style guides, at the Information Desk. All library-created handouts are available in electronic format on the library website. We encourage linking to the How-to Guide page in order to ensure students have access to the most up to date guides. Revised handouts will be posted over the next two weeks.
Several sets of paper handouts will be made available on Reserve at the Library Circulation Desk for ease of access. Assistance with APA Style will continue to be provided at the Library Information Desk.
Paper copies of handouts will continue to be provided to students who attend library instruction sessions. For more information about booking library instruction for your students see the Library Instruction page.
If you have any questions about this change, please contact Leigh Cunningham, Library Services, at 403-504-3654.
Course Materials & Copyright Agreement
This is a notice to all instructors who wish to produce course packs with excerpts from books.
In light of recent developments in copyright law and the Supreme Court of Canada judgments, ACCC (Association of Canadian Community Colleges) has advised its members to delay signing the Model Agreement with Access Copyright. As our executive waits for ACCC to publish their legal analysis of the Model Agreement to make their final decision, the college wishes to ensure that you and your students have access to the resources that are needed with a minimal negative impact.
As a result, some course pack materials may need to be changed for the fall semester 2012. To facilitate a smooth transition, please contact Clint Lawrence, Copyright Officer to review your materials.
