Library Support for Applied Degrees

Library Overview

The Seneca College Library is vital to the success of our students. The acquisition of current print, electronic and multimedia resources has been the focus of our collection

development policies, with the Library’s holdings now at over 85,000 print resources. A broad array of electronic resources, including e-books and e-journals, Research by Subject web pages, Quick Reference tools and Online Course-specific Research Guides are accessible on site or remotely from outside the College. This virtual library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at our web site: http://library.senecacollege.ca. To further support the expanding world of online learning, the Seneca Libraries also offer a virtual reference service called “Ask Us Now”, which provides reference support through online chat, email, telephone and an online self-guided research tutorial.

In addition, the Library is committed to providing our users with the skills necessary to best utilize our resources, through tours, instructional classes and workshops, and online tutorials.

Library Collections

The Library has developed a unique approach for the acquisition and renewal of library print, electronic and audiovisual resources for all program areas. The creation of “Collection Profiles” is an on-going and comprehensive plan for curriculum driven library collection

development. The profile process enables the development of up-to-date, relevant and faculty supported collections. Based on established library standards, library staff work with faculty to develop a snapshot of the collection, and collaborate to ensure library purchases are directed in areas that best support the curriculum.

The College has committed to funding of approximately $600,000 annually in support of the development and renewal of print learning resources in all subject areas. As well, another $275,000 is committed for the acquisition of electronic resources.

Computers-Research Access Stations for Students

Student access to the Library’s online resources is available from most computers on campus. Specifically, the Library and Computing Commons at the Newnham Campus has 343 student computers supporting the research and courseware needs of students.

The Seneca @ York Library and Computing Commons has 307 student computers.

The Library at King has 30 student computers and an additional 100 are located in the open microcomputer lab.

The Library is committed to supporting Applied Degree Programs by ensuring registered students have adequate, relevant and current resources available to them. We direct them to available resources by providing a comprehensive starting point - a “Research by Subject” page on our web site. This page directs students to electronic resources, the Library catalogue (for listings of book, periodical and Audio Visual materials), and to reliable and authoritative sites on the Internet. There is a Research by Subject page for every program offered at the College.

Innovation

New initiatives have established Seneca Library as a leader in adoption of technological advances in the delivery of library services. The establishment of a multi-college collaborative virtual reference service “Ask Us Now”, was spearheaded by Seneca College, and was one of the first in the province. The Library is also the first college in Canada to successfully

implement federated searching, allowing users to search multiple electronic databases from a single search screen.
