The Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change course (ACC2030/IKE2030) will be hosting an exhibition on April 3rd at 3:30pm in the Robertson Library Lobby. The exhibition will showcase creative pieces by students based on their reflections of Knowledge-Keeper Elder Gary Joe Augustine's, from Elsipogtog First Nation, presentation.

For more information, please reach out to the instructor and coordinator: Margaret Augustine (maugustine@upei.ca) and Donald Moses (dmoses@upei.ca).

The Library has a free trial through May 31, 2024 to a set of about 300 streaming videos within the Sage Research Methods platform called Diversifying and Decolonizing Research .

This is a very new package so there may be some hiccups on the platform in the first few weeks.

Some examples of titles included are:

Classes are over, and you just have to make it through exams! The library is here to help, and not just with books and research advice. Every day between April 11th and April 21st, we'll provide some sort of treat, craft, or activity to give your brain a break. Follow @RobertsonLibrary on Instagram and Facebook so you never miss a Pop-Up Surprise.

We'll also be transforming the library lounge into the Stress-Free Zone for the duration of exams. Relax with colouring pages, yarn, origami, and so much more! 

Good luck on your finals!

On Monday, April 8, 2024, Islanders will experience our first total solar eclipse since July 1972! The eclipse will be seen over UPEI's Charlottetown campus between 3:28:08 pm and 5:43:58 pm, with a peak of 99.56% totality expected at 4:38:16 pm, according to Astronomy @ UPEI Physics. For more information, including how to create your own pinhole projector, see their webpage, "Safe Solar Eclipse Viewing," at projects.upei.ca/astronomy/safe-solar-eclipse-viewing/. Remember: never look directly at the sun, and keep your camera safe, too.

The library is running a free trial, through May 31, 2024, of a new video database from Sage, with 129 videos and growing:

Social Justice Collection 2024
