Your Subject Librarian

Subject librarians are your partners in teaching and research. They can help shape collections that support your courses, deliver tailored instruction for your students, and provide research support for both faculty and students. Connect with your subject librarian to make sure you and your students have the resources and skills needed to succeed.

Information Literacy Instruction

The Library supports student learning by offering information literacy instruction (ILI) that helps students discover, evaluate, and ethically use information to create new knowledge. If your course includes assignments that require research, critical thinking, and proper citation, consider integrating a library workshop or online tutorial. Our librarians provide flexible, tailored instruction designed to strengthen your students’ ability to find, assess, and use information with confidence.

Reading Lists

Reading lists are an improved way for instructors to create and manage course readings inside of Brightspace.

Reading lists organize all of the resources (or "readings") for a course, whether it's books, e-books, journal articles, scanned documents, films, or websites. They can easily be used as a digital alternative to print coursepacks.

Instructors can annotate readings and mark them as Required or Suggested, to guide student learning. Reading lists also allow instructors to communicate directly with Langara Library to request resources and ensure copyright compliance.

Additional Supports
