University of Ottawa Library is a bilingual library system of University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is composed of 3 main libraries – the Morisset Library (Arts and Science), the Brian Dickson Law Library and the Health Sciences Library – in addition to a number of specialized research collections[1].
Description
The Morisset Library (Arts and Science), where Archives and Special Collections, Geographic, Statistical and Government Information Centre, and Media Centre are also located in the Morisset Pavillion is one of the main libraries. The University of Ottawa Library maintains a collection of approximately 2 million printed books, 1 million e-books, 423,986 maps, 87,216 music items and more with its collection budget of $15 million Canadian dollars[2].
The Archives and Special Collections contains holdings on a variety of subjects, particularly on feminism movement in Canada and it has the largest collection of feminist publications in Canada from periodicals and newsletters including Branching Out and Broadside[3]. In addition, in 2018, the Archives and Special Collections collaborated with the Library and Archives Canada and the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists – Education and Research Institute (INWES-ERI) founded by Monique Frize for the project of Canadian Archive of Women in STEM to develop a search index portal to facilitate discovery in one central location[4].
The Library has digitized over 20,000 French books and some of the air photos from the National Air Photo Library (NAPL) collection which are in the public domain. In addition, with consent from the National Aboriginal Health Organization's (NAHO) Board of Directors, the Library and the Indigenous Program at the Faculty of Medicine archived the NAHO’s website using Archive It which is no longer publicly available[5].
In 2018, the Learning Crossroads (CRX) was opened to students, faculty, and staff at uOttawa with two lecture halls and more than 1000 individual and group study rooms[6][7]. It houses a wide range of cutting-edge technologies like a video wall, featuring a giant 8K screen, virtual reality equipment and multimedia studios[8].
Partnerships and collaboration
The Library is a member of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)[9], the Association of Research Libraries (ARL)[10], and the Ontario Council of University Libraries[11] as well as other groups.
