The Libraries offers a wide range of support for student learning and research, including web-based resources, supplemental instruction from subject librarians, workshops, and reference services. Visit the Libraries' instruction support website or contact any of our subject librarians to find out more about the resources and services available to your faculty and department.
You can easily add a librarian to your class enabling them to support your students within the UM Learn environment. Once added to your class a librarian can upload information about library collections and services, add course content, or participate in online class activities. Talk to your librarian to discuss ways they may be able to participate in your class online.
This website includes short modules covering topics related to academic writing, searching for scholarly sources, evaluating research material, and citation styles. The modules are interdisciplinary in nature to be able to supplement the diverse approaches to teaching and learning at University of Manitoba. It is a work in progress with additional content to be added in future stages of development.
