Tours and instructional workshops are offered at the beginning of each term to individual students and to classes. These provide an introduction to library resources and information skills that will help in preparing course assignments and writing research papers. They cover topics such as searching the library catalogue, finding course materials on reserve, and locating articles and other materials via databases such as ERIC, PsycINFO, Education Full Text, and others. Workshops on EndNote and other citation management programs provide help on how to easily create in-text citations, notes, and reference lists.

The Education Library provides computers for student use, tables and carrels to connect laptops, wireless access, as well as photocopiers, printers, and scanners. You may select to work in the quiet study area, in one of several group study spaces, or just relax on a comfortable reading chair.

Lending Services for laptops, digital still and video cameras, digital audio recorders, and tripods are now handled by the Education Library. These services are available during regular Library operating hours.

The International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors

The International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors

山ǿ’s International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors has been attempting to identify and understand the underlying determinants and critical factors related to youth gambling problems and their relationship with other adolescent addictive and high-risk behaviours. The ongoing research efforts conducted by Drs. Derevensky and Gupta, along with their graduate students, have been crucial in helping to identify the determinants placing youth at risk for gambling problems, and in the development of empirically based treatment and prevention programs. Of importance has been the Centre’s role in impacting public health and social policy in an effort to reduce and minimize the harms associated with excessive, problematic gambling.

  • Directors: Dr. Jeffrey Derevensky and Dr. Rina Gupta
