What’s New
New Website
The Library warmly welcomes back new and returning students, faculty, and staff to campus. We’ve been busy building a new website to better support support teaching, learning, and research at UBC Okanagan. We’ve added specific audience pages to offer improved access to key resources and services at the Library. We’ve added new Undergraduate, Graduate, Faculty, Community and Donor pages to ensure our audiences have greater ease finding what they need. As you explore, please don’t hesitate to contact us with your feedback.
