About The Library

The GPRC Library comprises three distinct service areas: Library Services, Educational Technologies, and the Learning Support Services. These areas are unique in their services within our department. Library Services is responsible for our library collection and strives to meet the research needs of our users. Educational Technologies offers means and support for electronic delivery of courses through Blackboard, videoconferencing, as well as support and instruction for student and faculty digital projects and presentations. The Learning Support Centre provides students with resources to help them with writing, documentation, oral presentation, resume building, life skills and more. Although each area works fairly independently, all the staff work together for the success of the department in meeting the current and future needs of the students, staff, and faculty of GPRC.

 

The library holds approximately 124,000 items. Our collection includes books, reference items, periodicals, newspapers, Statistics Canada publications, Government publications, Curriculum items, Juvenile collection, Special Collections (Test and Careers), Music, Audiovisual, Maps and Atlases, Easy Reading and Paperbacks. Our users have access to numerous online databases and a growing selection of electronic journals and ebooks.
