The University Library participates in a province-wide program, which purchases access to a number of electronic information resources (e.g. Canada Info Desk). Please provide your feedback on the resources purchased by this initiative by taking a 5-10 minute online survey. Closes December 16th.

The University of Saskatchewan’s copyright practices and guidelines are changing as a result of the university’s decision to opt out of the license agreement with Access Copyright. The agreement lapsed on August 31, 2011 and from that date on the university has adopted new fair dealing guidelines that will ensure we are compliant with copyright legislation. Those changes have caused the University Library to modify some of its services and procedures.

More information on how this affects library services is available at http://libguides.usask.ca/copyright

We are also happy to help you with any questions. Come into the library or contact us at usaskengi@library.usask.ca
