Open Access Resources @ Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
"THROUGH THIS FACILITY, WE HAVE OPENED THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY. THE POWER OF NEW IDEAS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE IN EVERY CORNER OF THE PROVINCE AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD."
GORDON CAMPBELL
The goal of digital outreach at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre is to go beyond the walls of campus by providing a flexible and technologically advanced facility that keeps pace with the evolution in information resources and education in the 21st century and beyond. Through the latest technologies in Web 2.0 and social software, the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre offers innovative means and strategies in reaching the farthest corners of the local and global community.
The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and UBC Library present open access resources as part of our mandate to serve not only as a focal point of education for students and teachers at UBC but also to support lifelong learning by people throughout B.C. and the world. These resources enable everyone in the public to work effectively together in continuing to build a better British Columbia through the sharing of knowledge and information services provided by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and UBC Library.
Followed by a selected list of OA resources. Thanks to Simon Neame and Allan Cho.
