Have you ever wanted to know more about the rooms in the Barber Centre? Below we highlight just a few of the rooms in the [http://ikebarberlearningcentre.ubc.ca Irving K. Barber Learning Centre]. The majority of the rooms in the are named after historical places in British Columbia, but as you'll see, some are named after people as well.

 

==Atlin Meeting Room ==

The town of Atlin and Atlin Lake are located along Highway 7, just south of the border with the Yukon. Atlin, often called “Switzerland of the North,” is known for its wintertime beauty and activities. The name Atlin is derived from the Tlingit word atlah, which means “big water.” <ref>BC Geographical Names Database. "Atlin." http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/40235.html</ref> The town was founded in the late 19th century when gold was struck in the area, drawing thousands of settlers; today the population is around 450 people.

Located on the southwestern side of Vancouver Island, this historic community was named after William Eddy Banfield, who came out to the coast aboard H.M.S. Constance in 1846. He later became an Indian Agent and collected a large amount of ethnological information about the First Nations communities in the area. Forty years later Banfield Creek was chosen as the northern terminus of the 7,000 mile long submarine cable linking the British possessions in North America and the British Commonwealth of Australia, with the first message transmitted December 8, 1902. The following year the Bamfield Post Office was established, and although the spelling mistake was quickly acknowledged by postal authorities, corrected cancellation stamps were never issued to the Banfield Postmaster.

For the next fifty years, provincial and federal maps identified Bamfield Post Office on the shore of Banfield Inlet. The Bamfield Marine Station opened in 1972, on the site once occupied by the cable station. Parks Canada has installed a National Historic Site tablet here. <ref>BC Geographical Names Database.

Bella Coola is a small town on the Central Coast of B.C. home to the Nuxalk Nation.<ref>Nuxalk Smayusta. "Territory and Maps." http://www.nuxalk.net/html/maps.htm</ref>

The Bella Coola area is famous for the MacKenzie Rock, where in 1793 Alexander MacKenzie wrote his name on a rock to commemorate completing the first recorded journey across North America. In the early to mid 20th century, the Bella Coola area was home to the Tallheo Cannery, built in 1912 by the Canadian Fishing Company.<ref>BC Geographical Names Database.

The Chapman Learning Commons is named after Library benefactors Kay and Lloyd Chapman. Longtime supporters of UBC, the Chapmans have inspired innovative projects and programs that have improved the quality of life of students, faculty and the wider community.

Beginning in 1975, the Chapmans, UBC alums, have made a yearly gift to the library, focusing their efforts on inventive projects with the highest degree of impact. The proof of their desire to encourage innovative learning is on brilliant display in the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.

Constructed in 2002, and reopened in 2008, the Chapman Learning Commons is an innovative space which encourages open discourse, group work and use of cutting-edge technology. Located in the heritage section of the former Main Library (now the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre), the Learning Commons has soaring ceilings, stained glass windows, and comfortable and spacious furniture. It is also home to an array of community events and lectures and student resources to aid in the learning experience including a laptop-lending program and a tutoring centre.<ref>The Chapman Learning Commons. http://support.library.ubc.ca/stories-of-support/community/chapman-learning-commons/</ref>

Chilcotin, meaning "people of the red river," refers to the Chilcotin Plateau region in British Columbia, and to the Chilcotin (Tsilhqot'in) people. The Chilcotin (Tsilhqot'in) First Nation are a Dene (Athapaskan)<ref>Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009. Ethnologue: Languages of the World, Sixteenth edition. Dallas, Tex.: SIL International.

The BC Geographical Names database <ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/5858.htm</ref> adds that the word "chilcotin" can also be translated as "ochre river people." Ochre, a mineralized substance (usually red or yellow), can be used as a base for paint or dyes. Ochre is used by many First Nations peoples even today.

In 1808 explorer Simon Fraser was the first European to encounter the Chilcotin people, or "Chilk-hodins" as he called them.<ref>Akrigg, Helen B. and Akrigg, G.P.V. "British Columbia Place Names." University of British Columbia Press 1997</ref>
The Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost in Chilcotin territory shortly after in 1827. The outpost closed in 1844. In 1859, gold miners proliferated on the banks of the Fraser River.

From a young age, Wallace Chung had an affinity for discovery, collecting, and preserving. What began as a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and pictures from magazines became an assembly of over 25,000 rare and unique items. The collection was donated to UBC Library in 1997. The Chung Collection is now regarded as one of Canada’s national treasures and is of special importance in documenting the history of the CPR and the Chinese-Canadian experience.1 These priceless personal and historical artifacts amassed over a remarkable lifetime are now on permanent display in the Rare Books and Special Collections Chung Exhibition Room.

Dr. Chung's passion for collecting is evident in the dedication and dynamics behind the Chung Collection, which has three main themes: early B.C. history, immigration and settlement, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The Chung Collection includes many rare and unique items: documents, books, maps, posters, paintings, photographs, silver, glass, ceramic ware and other artifacts. It is one of the most exceptional and extensive collections of its kind in North America.

The Dodson Room was named after benefactors Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl Dodson. UBC Library has long played an important role in their personal and professional lives. The pair first met at the Main Library (now the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre) back in the 1950s when they were both members of the Biology Club. Suzanne went on to work at the Library until her retirement in 1999.

In recognition of the Dodsons’ unwavering support of UBC Library, a restored reading room was named in their honour. Once a part of the former Main Library, the Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl D. Dodson Reading Room is now located within the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The 1999 renovations rebuilt the room to its former 1925 glory with replicas of the only two remaining wrought iron and glass lamps that hung in the Main Library’s front hall, refinished wooden roof beams, and a hand-painted decorative frieze of Celtic design by UBC artists.<ref> UBC Library.

The Peace River originates in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and flows into Northern Alberta.

Peter Pond's maps of 1785 and 1787 refer to it as the "River of Peace." Other names have included Un-ja-ga/Unjigah, as recorded by explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820), in his "Voyage to the Pacific Coast of Canada" in 1793. The exact original meaning of the word "Unjaga" is not certain<ref>BC Geographical Names Database. "Peace River." http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/6874.html</ref>.

The name "Peace River" was formally adopted in June 1912, along with the approved French form, "Rivière de la Paix."

The Peace River area is the traditional home of the Danezaa people - historically referred to as the Beaver tribe by European explorers. The Danezaa language is part of the Athapaskan language group, the second largest language family in North America.<ref>Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009.

Qualicum Beach is located outside of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. The name "Qualicum" comes from a Pentlatch language term that means "Where the dog salmon (chum salmon) run."<ref> Francis (ed), Daniel (2000). "Encyclopedia of British Columbia." Harbour Publishing. p. 585. ISBN 1-55017-200-X.</ref> After a smallpox epidemic in 1862, the area was abandoned for many years, with settlers arriving in the 1860s.<ref>Mackie, Richard.

In the Barber Centre, the Qualicum Reading Room is room 305, the large, open study space at the top of the main stairs on the third floor, just outside the Chapman Learning Commons. This is a very popular space for studying and is also where the Chapman Learning Commons-AMS tutoring takes place.

The Ridington Room is named after an important person in the history of the University of British Columbia Library: John Ridington.

John Ridington was UBC’s first University Librarian. A former journalist and teacher, he started work on the library collection in August 1914 when UBC was in its temporary home at West 10th Avenue and Laurel Street (the Fairview Shacks). By 1916, he had been appointed University Librarian, a position he remained in until his retirement at the age of 72 in April 1940. According to information gathered by the UBC Archives, Ridington was known as a rigid authoritarian and was nicknamed ‘King John.’

The University Archives is responsible for collecting material related to the University and, therefore, holds the papers of John Ridington and his family. If you are interested in learning more about the life of UBC’s first University librarian, take a look at the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/ridfam.pdf finding aid] (“an aid for finding items in an archival collection”) to the collection that is available on the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives University Archives website].

The Ridington Room is definitely worth a visit if you haven’t already had the oppportunity to see the space. It is often called the “Harry Potter Room” by students, due to the winding staircase and the portrait-covered walls. A portrait of John Ridington, painted in 1912 by his brother-in-law Malcolm Charleston, hangs in the Ridington Room.

There is also a magnificent art installation by Vancouver artist John Nutter, who was commissioned by Jean Barber to to design a 45-panel glass sculpture that is intended to “flow like the Northern Lights,” and features intricate etchings designed around a series of compasses. Nutter felt the Library, like a compass, should be used “as a tool of discovery.” An ideal space for quiet study, the room is a hit with students and visitors alike<ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Skeena River Room is named after the Skeena River, the second-longest river entirely within British Columbia’s borders (the largest being the Fraser River). Six-hundred and twenty-one kilometers long, it flows south and west through the Skeena and Coast Mountains, reaching the Pacific Ocean at Prince Rupert.

For thousands of years, the Tsimshian (“People of the Skeena”), Gitxsan and Nisga'a have lived along the river.<ref>Canadian Museum of History. From Time Immemorial:
Tsimshian Prehistory. http://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/aborig/tsimsian/intro00e.shtml</ref> Today there are approximately 10,000 Tsimshian living around the Skeena.

George Vancouver visited the mouth of the Skeena River in July 1793, but it wasn’t until the 1860s that the Gold Rush and railway brought more settlers along the river. In 1876, salmon canneries were built along the Skeena River - at one time there were as many as 18 canneries.

Stewart, B.C. is a border town near the end of the Portland canal and the border of Alaska. Forestry and mining are the two main industries of the area, mining being what prompted white settlers to the area in 1898. The Nisga’a First Nation called the Stewart area Skam-A-Kounst, meaning “safe house” or “strong house.” Stewart is named for the Stewart brothers from Victoria, who held interests in a number of mines in the area at the turn of the century. <ref> Sarah Romkey.

The Stikine River is in northwestern B.C., emptying into the ocean in southeastern Alaska. The river and its surroundings are considered to be an important piece of B.C. wilderness to preserve. If you search the library catalogue for the keyword Stikine, you will find a number of publications related to the preservation of this area.

Like many names of rivers and places, there have been variations of spelling in the name “Stikine” over time, including Shikene, Stachine, Stachin, Stah-Keena, Stahkin, Stakeen, Stickeen, Stickienes, Stikeen, Stikin, and Sucheen!<ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/7821.html </ref>. However, like many place names, it was also known under completely different names. B.C. Geographical Names confirms that the Stikine was known by other names at different times- they cite St. Francis River, as well as Pelly’s River.

In the Barber Centre, the Stikine Room is room 260, currently the office for Enrolment Services.

The Victoria Learning Theatre is named after the city of Victoria.

On the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is our province’s capital and hence the place of many events in the province’s history. Rare Books and Special Collections contains almost innumerable books, maps, documents, and photographs related to Victoria. However, to rare books enthusiasts, there is one (or two) events from Victoria’s history that are of particular note: the publication of the first book (or books) to be printed in British Columbia.

What is largely accepted to be the first book printed in B.C. is ''Order in council constituting the Supreme Court of Civil Justice of Vancouver Island and rules of practice and forms to be used therein,'' which basically amounted to a 'rule book' for the Supreme Court in Victoria. It was printed at the Victoria Gazette in November 1858.

The library copy is particularly special: it was David Cameron‘s personal copy! David Cameron was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia- in other words, not only did he own the book, he wrote the book too. This copy was given to the Library by Dr. Wallace Chung, on the occasion of the re-opening of the Chung Collection in Spring 2008. David Cameron’s signature can be seen on the cover, and on the ''Act to provide for the Administration of Justice in Vancouver’s Island'', tipped in the front <ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Yukon Meeting Room is named after the territory of Yukon, established in 1898. The Yukon is named after the Yukon River, one of the longest rivers in North America. The original name was Yu-kan-ah, which means “great river” in an Athabaskan dialect. The Dinjii Zhuu people, formerly called the Gwichi’in. currently live in the Northwest Territories, Yukon and northern Alaska.

Allison Harbour the place is a harbour in the Queen Charlotte Straight, as well as a marine park. Allison Harbour was formerly known as False Bay or False Schooner Passage. Extending north from Queen Charlotte Strait to the southeast of Bramham Island, it is the site of the former post office and steamer landing of Allison Harbour, British Columbia. The Allison Reefs lie in the entrance to the sound; Allison Cone (185m), which is nearby between Shelter Bay and Cape Caution, was named in association with Allison Harbour.

Clearwater is a district municipality in the North Thompson River valley in British Columbia, Canada, where the Clearwater River empties into the North Thompson River. The Overlanders expedition to the Cariboo goldfields rafted down the North Thompson River in 1862. When they first arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they named it for its distinct clarity compared to the relatively muddy waters of the North Thompson.

The Village of McBride is located in the Robson Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. The Village is located 210 km (130 mi) southeast of Prince George, British Columbia and 166 km (103 mi) west of Jasper, Alberta. Incorporated in 1932, McBride is a community with a variety of natural beauty surrounding the Village. McBride was founded in 1913 as Mile 90 of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Village received its name after the serving premier, Sir Richard McBride. McBride’s early industries were rail, shipping, forest harvesting and agricultural development of the valley. McBride is rich in farmland in the valley bottom, with a mix of forest and alpine surrounding the Valley. This unique mixture allows McBride to be a prime location for many industries. Current industries for McBride include railroad, forest, tourism, agriculture and small businesses.

Located on the southwestern side of Vancouver Island, this historic community was named after William Eddy Banfield, who came out to the coast aboard H.M.S. Constance in 1846. He later became an Indian Agent and collected a large amount of ethnological information about the First Nations communities in the area. Forty years later Banfield Creek was chosen as the northern terminus of the 7,000 mile long submarine cable linking the British possessions in North America and the British Commonwealth of Australia, with the first message transmitted December 8, 1902. The following year the Bamfield Post Office was established, and although the spelling mistake was quickly acknowledged by postal authorities, corrected cancellation stamps were never issued to the Banfield Postmaster.

For the next fifty years, provincial and federal maps identified Bamfield Post Office on the shore of Banfield Inlet. The Bamfield Marine Station opened in 1972, on the site once occupied by the cable station. Parks Canada has installed a National Historic Site tablet here. <ref>BC Geographical Names Database.

The Chapman Learning Commons is named after Library benefactors Kay and Lloyd Chapman. Longtime supporters of UBC, the Chapmans have inspired innovative projects and programs that have improved the quality of life of students, faculty and the wider community.

Beginning in 1975, the Chapmans, UBC alums, have made a yearly gift to the library, focusing their efforts on inventive projects with the highest degree of impact. The proof of their desire to encourage innovative learning is on brilliant display in the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.

Constructed in 2002, and reopened in 2008, the Chapman Learning Commons is an innovative space which encourages open discourse, group work and use of cutting-edge technology. Located in the heritage section of the former Main Library (now the Irving K.

The BC Geographical Names database <ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/5858.htm</ref> adds that the word "chilcotin" can also be translated as "ochre river people." Ochre, a mineralized substance (usually red or yellow), can be used as a base for paint or dyes. Ochre is used by many First Nations peoples even today.

From a young age, Wallace Chung had an affinity for discovery, collecting, and preserving. What began as a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and pictures from magazines became an assembly of over 25,000 rare and unique items. The collection was donated to UBC Library in 1997. The Chung Collection is now regarded as one of Canada’s national treasures and is of special importance in documenting the history of the CPR and the Chinese-Canadian experience.1 These priceless personal and historical artifacts amassed over a remarkable lifetime are now on permanent display in the Rare Books and Special Collections Chung Exhibition Room.

Dr. Chung's passion for collecting is evident in the dedication and dynamics behind the Chung Collection, which has three main themes: early B.C. history, immigration and settlement, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The Chung Collection includes many rare and unique items: documents, books, maps, posters, paintings, photographs, silver, glass, ceramic ware and other artifacts. It is one of the most exceptional and extensive collections of its kind in North America.

The Dodson Room was named after benefactors Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl Dodson. UBC Library has long played an important role in their personal and professional lives. The pair first met at the Main Library (now the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre) back in the 1950s when they were both members of the Biology Club. Suzanne went on to work at the Library until her retirement in 1999.

In recognition of the Dodsons’ unwavering support of UBC Library, a restored reading room was named in their honour. Once a part of the former Main Library, the Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl D. Dodson Reading Room is now located within the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The 1999 renovations rebuilt the room to its former 1925 glory with replicas of the only two remaining wrought iron and glass lamps that hung in the Main Library’s front hall, refinished wooden roof beams, and a hand-painted decorative frieze of Celtic design by UBC artists.<ref> UBC Library.

Every August 1, British Columbians celebrate British Columbia (BC) Day, a civic holiday. According to the Protocol and Events Branch of the British Columbia government, the “British Columbia Day Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 c.34 was first introduced in 1974 as Bill 61 by the Hon. Ernie Hall, the Provincial Secretary under Premier Dave Barrett. The explanatory notes prefacing the bill states: “The purposes of this Bill is to recognize the pioneers of British Columbia by declaring the first Monday of August in each year to be a public holiday known as British Columbia Day.”

The decision to make BC a holiday was debated during the 4th session of the 30th Parliament in 1974. This debate took place in the chamber of the British Columbia Parliament building.<ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

Peter Pond's maps of 1785 and 1787 refer to it as the "River of Peace." Other names have included Un-ja-ga/Unjigah, as recorded by explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820), in his "Voyage to the Pacific Coast of Canada" in 1793.

The Ridington Room is named after an important person in the history of the University of British Columbia Library: John Ridington.

John Ridington was UBC’s first University Librarian. A former journalist and teacher, he started work on the library collection in August 1914 when UBC was in its temporary home at West 10th Avenue and Laurel Street (the Fairview Shacks). By 1916, he had been appointed University Librarian, a position he remained in until his retirement at the age of 72 in April 1940. According to information gathered by the UBC Archives, Ridington was known as a rigid authoritarian and was nicknamed ‘King John.’

The University Archives is responsible for collecting material related to the University and, therefore, holds the papers of John Ridington and his family. If you are interested in learning more about the life of UBC’s first University librarian, take a look at the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/ridfam.pdf finding aid] (“an aid for finding items in an archival collection”) to the collection that is available on the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives University Archives website].

The Ridington Room is definitely worth a visit if you haven’t already had the oppportunity to see the space. It is often called the “Harry Potter Room” by students, due to the winding staircase and the portrait-covered walls. A portrait of John Ridington, painted in 1912 by his brother-in-law Malcolm Charleston, hangs in the Ridington Room.

There is also a magnificent art installation by Vancouver artist John Nutter, who was commissioned by Jean Barber to to design a 45-panel glass sculpture that is intended to “flow like the Northern Lights,” and features intricate etchings designed around a series of compasses. Nutter felt the Library, like a compass, should be used “as a tool of discovery.” An ideal space for quiet study, the room is a hit with students and visitors alike<ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Skeena River Room is named after the Skeena River, the second-longest river entirely within British Columbia’s borders (the largest being the Fraser River). Six-hundred and twenty-one kilometers long, it flows south and west through the Skeena and Coast Mountains, reaching the Pacific Ocean at Prince Rupert.

For thousands of years, the Tsimshian (“People of the Skeena”), Gitxsan and Nisga'a have lived along the river.<ref>Canadian Museum of History. From Time Immemorial:
Tsimshian Prehistory. http://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/aborig/tsimsian/intro00e.shtml</ref> Today there are approximately 10,000 Tsimshian living around the Skeena.

George Vancouver visited the mouth of the Skeena River in July 1793, but it wasn’t until the 1860s that the Gold Rush and railway brought more settlers along the river. In 1876, salmon canneries were built along the Skeena River - at one time there were as many as 18 canneries.

Stewart, B.C. is a border town near the end of the Portland canal and the border of Alaska. Forestry and mining are the two main industries of the area, mining being what prompted white settlers to the area in 1898.

The Stikine River is in northwestern B.C., emptying into the ocean in southeastern Alaska. The river and its surroundings are considered to be an important piece of B.C. wilderness to preserve. If you search the library catalogue for the keyword Stikine, you will find a number of publications related to the preservation of this area.

Like many names of rivers and places, there have been variations of spelling in the name “Stikine” over time, including Shikene, Stachine, Stachin, Stah-Keena, Stahkin, Stakeen, Stickeen, Stickienes, Stikeen, Stikin, and Sucheen!<ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/7821.html </ref>.

At the end of beautiful Long Beach, the area is a mecca for tourists.<ref>Ucluelet. http://ucluelet.ca/community/the-ucluelet-experience/history-ucluelet-bc-canada-vancouver-island-west-coast-first-nations</ref>

 
 
 
 

==Victoria Learning Theatre ==
[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/a/af/IKBLCmap.pdf Room 182]

[[File:Empress Hotel from steamer at Victoria, BC .jpg|thumb|University of British Columbia Library, [http://digitalcollections.library.ubc.ca/cdm/singleitem/collection/chung/id/22115/rec/39 CC-PH-05474], Empress Hotel]]

The Victoria Learning Theatre is named after the city of Victoria.

On the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is our province’s capital and hence the place of many events in the province’s history. Rare Books and Special Collections contains almost innumerable books, maps, documents, and photographs related to Victoria. However, to rare books enthusiasts, there is one (or two) events from Victoria’s history that are of particular note: the publication of the first book (or books) to be printed in British Columbia.

What is largely accepted to be the first book printed in B.C. is ''Order in council constituting the Supreme Court of Civil Justice of Vancouver Island and rules of practice and forms to be used therein,'' which basically amounted to a 'rule book' for the Supreme Court in Victoria. It was printed at the Victoria Gazette in November 1858.

The library copy is particularly special: it was David Cameron‘s personal copy! David Cameron was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia- in other words, not only did he own the book, he wrote the book too. This copy was given to the Library by Dr. Wallace Chung, on the occasion of the re-opening of the Chung Collection in Spring 2008. David Cameron’s signature can be seen on the cover, and on the ''Act to provide for the Administration of Justice in Vancouver’s Island'', tipped in the front <ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Yukon Meeting Room is named after the territory of Yukon, established in 1898. The Yukon is named after the Yukon River, one of the longest rivers in North America. The original name was Yu-kan-ah, which means “great river” in an Athabaskan dialect. The Dinjii Zhuu people, formerly called the Gwichi’in. currently live in the Northwest Territories, Yukon and northern Alaska.

Allison Harbour the place is a harbour in the Queen Charlotte Straight, as well as a marine park. Allison Harbour was formerly known as False Bay or False Schooner Passage. Extending north from Queen Charlotte Strait to the southeast of Bramham Island, it is the site of the former post office and steamer landing of Allison Harbour, British Columbia. The Allison Reefs lie in the entrance to the sound; Allison Cone (185m), which is nearby between Shelter Bay and Cape Caution, was named in association with Allison Harbour.

Clearwater is a district municipality in the North Thompson River valley in British Columbia, Canada, where the Clearwater River empties into the North Thompson River. The Overlanders expedition to the Cariboo goldfields rafted down the North Thompson River in 1862. When they first arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they named it for its distinct clarity compared to the relatively muddy waters of the North Thompson.

The Village of McBride is located in the Robson Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. The Village is located 210 km (130 mi) southeast of Prince George, British Columbia and 166 km (103 mi) west of Jasper, Alberta. Incorporated in 1932, McBride is a community with a variety of natural beauty surrounding the Village. McBride was founded in 1913 as Mile 90 of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Village received its name after the serving premier, Sir Richard McBride. McBride’s early industries were rail, shipping, forest harvesting and agricultural development of the valley. McBride is rich in farmland in the valley bottom, with a mix of forest and alpine surrounding the Valley. This unique mixture allows McBride to be a prime location for many industries. Current industries for McBride include railroad, forest, tourism, agriculture and small businesses.

The town of Atlin and Atlin Lake are located along Highway 7, just south of the border with the Yukon. Atlin, often called “Switzerland of the North,” is known for its wintertime beauty and activities. The name Atlin is derived from the Tlingit word atlah, which means “big water.” <ref>BC Geographical Names Database. "Atlin." http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/40235.html</ref> The town was founded in the late 19th century when gold was struck in the area, drawing thousands of settlers; today the population is around 450 people.

Located on the southwestern side of Vancouver Island, this historic community was named after William Eddy Banfield, who came out to the coast aboard H.M.S. Constance in 1846. He later became an Indian Agent and collected a large amount of ethnological information about the First Nations communities in the area. Forty years later Banfield Creek was chosen as the northern terminus of the 7,000 mile long submarine cable linking the British possessions in North America and the British Commonwealth of Australia, with the first message transmitted December 8, 1902. The following year the Bamfield Post Office was established, and although the spelling mistake was quickly acknowledged by postal authorities, corrected cancellation stamps were never issued to the Banfield Postmaster.

For the next fifty years, provincial and federal maps identified Bamfield Post Office on the shore of Banfield Inlet. The Bamfield Marine Station opened in 1972, on the site once occupied by the cable station. Parks Canada has installed a National Historic Site tablet here. <ref>BC Geographical Names Database.

The Chapman Learning Commons is named after Library benefactors Kay and Lloyd Chapman. Longtime supporters of UBC, the Chapmans have inspired innovative projects and programs that have improved the quality of life of students, faculty and the wider community.

Beginning in 1975, the Chapmans, UBC alums, have made a yearly gift to the library, focusing their efforts on inventive projects with the highest degree of impact. The proof of their desire to encourage innovative learning is on brilliant display in the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.

Constructed in 2002, and reopened in 2008, the Chapman Learning Commons is an innovative space which encourages open discourse, group work and use of cutting-edge technology. Located in the heritage section of the former Main Library (now the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre), the Learning Commons has soaring ceilings, stained glass windows, and comfortable and spacious furniture. It is also home to an array of community events and lectures and student resources to aid in the learning experience including a laptop-lending program and a tutoring centre.<ref>The Chapman Learning Commons. http://support.library.ubc.ca/stories-of-support/community/chapman-learning-commons/</ref>

Chilcotin, meaning "people of the red river," refers to the Chilcotin Plateau region in British Columbia, and to the Chilcotin (Tsilhqot'in) people. The Chilcotin (Tsilhqot'in) First Nation are a Dene (Athapaskan)<ref>Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009. Ethnologue: Languages of the World, Sixteenth edition. Dallas, Tex.: SIL International.

The BC Geographical Names database <ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/5858.htm</ref> adds that the word "chilcotin" can also be translated as "ochre river people." Ochre, a mineralized substance (usually red or yellow), can be used as a base for paint or dyes. Ochre is used by many First Nations peoples even today.

In 1808 explorer Simon Fraser was the first European to encounter the Chilcotin people, or "Chilk-hodins" as he called them.<ref>Akrigg, Helen B. and Akrigg, G.P.V. "British Columbia Place Names." University of British Columbia Press 1997</ref>
The Hudson's Bay Company established an outpost in Chilcotin territory shortly after in 1827. The outpost closed in 1844. In 1859, gold miners proliferated on the banks of the Fraser River.

From a young age, Wallace Chung had an affinity for discovery, collecting, and preserving. What began as a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and pictures from magazines became an assembly of over 25,000 rare and unique items. The collection was donated to UBC Library in 1997. The Chung Collection is now regarded as one of Canada’s national treasures and is of special importance in documenting the history of the CPR and the Chinese-Canadian experience.1 These priceless personal and historical artifacts amassed over a remarkable lifetime are now on permanent display in the Rare Books and Special Collections Chung Exhibition Room.

Dr. Chung's passion for collecting is evident in the dedication and dynamics behind the Chung Collection, which has three main themes: early B.C. history, immigration and settlement, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The Chung Collection includes many rare and unique items: documents, books, maps, posters, paintings, photographs, silver, glass, ceramic ware and other artifacts. It is one of the most exceptional and extensive collections of its kind in North America.

The Dodson Room was named after benefactors Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl Dodson. UBC Library has long played an important role in their personal and professional lives. The pair first met at the Main Library (now the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre) back in the 1950s when they were both members of the Biology Club. Suzanne went on to work at the Library until her retirement in 1999.

In recognition of the Dodsons’ unwavering support of UBC Library, a restored reading room was named in their honour. Once a part of the former Main Library, the Suzanne Cates Dodson and Earl D. Dodson Reading Room is now located within the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The 1999 renovations rebuilt the room to its former 1925 glory with replicas of the only two remaining wrought iron and glass lamps that hung in the Main Library’s front hall, refinished wooden roof beams, and a hand-painted decorative frieze of Celtic design by UBC artists.<ref> UBC Library.

Every August 1, British Columbians celebrate British Columbia (BC) Day, a civic holiday. According to the Protocol and Events Branch of the British Columbia government, the “British Columbia Day Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 c.34 was first introduced in 1974 as Bill 61 by the Hon. Ernie Hall, the Provincial Secretary under Premier Dave Barrett. The explanatory notes prefacing the bill states: “The purposes of this Bill is to recognize the pioneers of British Columbia by declaring the first Monday of August in each year to be a public holiday known as British Columbia Day.”

The decision to make BC a holiday was debated during the 4th session of the 30th Parliament in 1974. This debate took place in the chamber of the British Columbia Parliament building.<ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Peace River originates in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and flows into Northern Alberta.

Peter Pond's maps of 1785 and 1787 refer to it as the "River of Peace." Other names have included Un-ja-ga/Unjigah, as recorded by explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820), in his "Voyage to the Pacific Coast of Canada" in 1793. The exact original meaning of the word "Unjaga" is not certain<ref>BC Geographical Names Database. "Peace River." http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/6874.html</ref>.

The name "Peace River" was formally adopted in June 1912, along with the approved French form, "Rivière de la Paix."

The Peace River area is the traditional home of the Danezaa people - historically referred to as the Beaver tribe by European explorers. The Danezaa language is part of the Athapaskan language group, the second largest language family in North America.<ref>Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009.

Qualicum Beach is located outside of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. The name "Qualicum" comes from a Pentlatch language term that means "Where the dog salmon (chum salmon) run."<ref> Francis (ed), Daniel (2000). "Encyclopedia of British Columbia." Harbour Publishing. p. 585. ISBN 1-55017-200-X.</ref> After a smallpox epidemic in 1862, the area was abandoned for many years, with settlers arriving in the 1860s.<ref>Mackie, Richard.

The Ridington Room is named after an important person in the history of the University of British Columbia Library: John Ridington.

John Ridington was UBC’s first University Librarian. A former journalist and teacher, he started work on the library collection in August 1914 when UBC was in its temporary home at West 10th Avenue and Laurel Street (the Fairview Shacks). By 1916, he had been appointed University Librarian, a position he remained in until his retirement at the age of 72 in April 1940. According to information gathered by the UBC Archives, Ridington was known as a rigid authoritarian and was nicknamed ‘King John.’

The University Archives is responsible for collecting material related to the University and, therefore, holds the papers of John Ridington and his family. If you are interested in learning more about the life of UBC’s first University librarian, take a look at the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/ridfam.pdf finding aid] (“an aid for finding items in an archival collection”) to the collection that is available on the [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives University Archives website].

The Ridington Room is definitely worth a visit if you haven’t already had the oppportunity to see the space. It is often called the “Harry Potter Room” by students, due to the winding staircase and the portrait-covered walls. A portrait of John Ridington, painted in 1912 by his brother-in-law Malcolm Charleston, hangs in the Ridington Room.

There is also a magnificent art installation by Vancouver artist John Nutter, who was commissioned by Jean Barber to to design a 45-panel glass sculpture that is intended to “flow like the Northern Lights,” and features intricate etchings designed around a series of compasses. Nutter felt the Library, like a compass, should be used “as a tool of discovery.” An ideal space for quiet study, the room is a hit with students and visitors alike<ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Skeena River Room is named after the Skeena River, the second-longest river entirely within British Columbia’s borders (the largest being the Fraser River). Six-hundred and twenty-one kilometers long, it flows south and west through the Skeena and Coast Mountains, reaching the Pacific Ocean at Prince Rupert.

For thousands of years, the Tsimshian (“People of the Skeena”), Gitxsan and Nisga'a have lived along the river.<ref>Canadian Museum of History. From Time Immemorial:
Tsimshian Prehistory. http://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/aborig/tsimsian/intro00e.shtml</ref> Today there are approximately 10,000 Tsimshian living around the Skeena.

George Vancouver visited the mouth of the Skeena River in July 1793, but it wasn’t until the 1860s that the Gold Rush and railway brought more settlers along the river. In 1876, salmon canneries were built along the Skeena River - at one time there were as many as 18 canneries.

Stewart, B.C. is a border town near the end of the Portland canal and the border of Alaska. Forestry and mining are the two main industries of the area, mining being what prompted white settlers to the area in 1898. The Nisga’a First Nation called the Stewart area Skam-A-Kounst, meaning “safe house” or “strong house.” Stewart is named for the Stewart brothers from Victoria, who held interests in a number of mines in the area at the turn of the century. <ref> Sarah Romkey.

The Stikine River is in northwestern B.C., emptying into the ocean in southeastern Alaska. The river and its surroundings are considered to be an important piece of B.C. wilderness to preserve. If you search the library catalogue for the keyword Stikine, you will find a number of publications related to the preservation of this area.

Like many names of rivers and places, there have been variations of spelling in the name “Stikine” over time, including Shikene, Stachine, Stachin, Stah-Keena, Stahkin, Stakeen, Stickeen, Stickienes, Stikeen, Stikin, and Sucheen!<ref>BC Geographical Names Database. http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/7821.html </ref>. However, like many place names, it was also known under completely different names. B.C. Geographical Names confirms that the Stikine was known by other names at different times- they cite St. Francis River, as well as Pelly’s River.

In the Barber Centre, the Stikine Room is room 260, currently the office for Enrolment Services.

The Thompson Meeting Room is named after David Thompson, Canada’s great geographer, who surveyed for the Hudson’s Bay Company from 1816 to 1826. The explorer Simon Fraser gave the name to the area in tribute to Thompson, although Thompson himself never visited the any of the three Thompson Rivers in B.C.<ref>BC Geographical Names Database.

The Victoria Learning Theatre is named after the city of Victoria.

On the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is our province’s capital and hence the place of many events in the province’s history. Rare Books and Special Collections contains almost innumerable books, maps, documents, and photographs related to Victoria. However, to rare books enthusiasts, there is one (or two) events from Victoria’s history that are of particular note: the publication of the first book (or books) to be printed in British Columbia.

What is largely accepted to be the first book printed in B.C. is ''Order in council constituting the Supreme Court of Civil Justice of Vancouver Island and rules of practice and forms to be used therein,'' which basically amounted to a 'rule book' for the Supreme Court in Victoria. It was printed at the Victoria Gazette in November 1858.

The library copy is particularly special: it was David Cameron‘s personal copy! David Cameron was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia- in other words, not only did he own the book, he wrote the book too. This copy was given to the Library by Dr. Wallace Chung, on the occasion of the re-opening of the Chung Collection in Spring 2008. David Cameron’s signature can be seen on the cover, and on the ''Act to provide for the Administration of Justice in Vancouver’s Island'', tipped in the front <ref>Katherine Kalsbeek.

The Yukon Meeting Room is named after the territory of Yukon, established in 1898. The Yukon is named after the Yukon River, one of the longest rivers in North America. The original name was Yu-kan-ah, which means “great river” in an Athabaskan dialect.

Allison Harbour the place is a harbour in the Queen Charlotte Straight, as well as a marine park. Allison Harbour was formerly known as False Bay or False Schooner Passage. Extending north from Queen Charlotte Strait to the southeast of Bramham Island, it is the site of the former post office and steamer landing of Allison Harbour, British Columbia. The Allison Reefs lie in the entrance to the sound; Allison Cone (185m), which is nearby between Shelter Bay and Cape Caution, was named in association with Allison Harbour.

Clearwater is a district municipality in the North Thompson River valley in British Columbia, Canada, where the Clearwater River empties into the North Thompson River. The Overlanders expedition to the Cariboo goldfields rafted down the North Thompson River in 1862. When they first arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they named it for its distinct clarity compared to the relatively muddy waters of the North Thompson.

The Village of McBride is located in the Robson Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. The Village is located 210 km (130 mi) southeast of Prince George, British Columbia and 166 km (103 mi) west of Jasper, Alberta. Incorporated in 1932, McBride is a community with a variety of natural beauty surrounding the Village. McBride was founded in 1913 as Mile 90 of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The Village received its name after the serving premier, Sir Richard McBride. McBride’s early industries were rail, shipping, forest harvesting and agricultural development of the valley. McBride is rich in farmland in the valley bottom, with a mix of forest and alpine surrounding the Valley. This unique mixture allows McBride to be a prime location for many industries. Current industries for McBride include railroad, forest, tourism, agriculture and small businesses.

'''IMPORTANT!''' The GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award is no longer active. The GSS Award was a lottery based award for graduate students at UBC Vancouver which went live on July 9, 2012 and ended on May 1, 2017. The first two awards were presented on October 18, 2012.

'''As of May 1, 2017 the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award concluded its five-year term''' and the collection in cIRcle was renamed the UBC Graduate Research collection for non-thesis research material from both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses. Please visit our [http://circle.ubc.ca/submissions/submit-content/graduate-research-non-thesis/ Graduate Non-Thesis Research] page for information on how to submit your material to cIRcle.
|}

==About==
The GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a lottery based award for graduate students at UBC Vancouver which went live on July 9, 2012 and ended on May 1, 2017. The [http://circle.sites.olt.ubc.ca/blog/gss-circle-open-scholar-award-winners/ first two awards] were presented on October 18, 2012.

Graduate students were eligible to submit exemplary '''non-thesis manuscripts or projects''' related to graduate coursework to the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/42591 GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award], with approval from their course instructors.

The Award was based on a lottery system held twice a year. A random selection was made from items submitted to cIRcle during the previous 6 month period – four awards will be made per annum, two in April and two in October.

'''This collection is NOT for UBC Theses and Dissertations''' which must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the [http://www.grad.ubc.ca/current-students/final-dissertation-thesis-submission/circle-instructions Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS)] into the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/24 Electronic Theses and Dissertations] collection in cIRcle. Please contact the G+PS for authorization to submit your thesis or dissertation.

===Background & Purpose===
The GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a five-year (2012-2017) collaboration of the [http://gss.ubc.ca/main/ Graduate Student Society] and cIRcle/UBC Library. The Award was the brainchild of Francisco Grajales, the GSS Senator at the time. He worked closely with Hilde Colenbrander (cIRcle Coordinator), the GSS Executive and others to implement this Award. The Award was approved by the UBC Vancouver Senate in late 2011, and technical implementation by cIRcle staff was completed in late June 2012.

The purpose of the Award was:
# To feature UBC as a leader in the open dissemination of graduate student work
# To create an incentive for graduate students to populate cIRcle with material beyond theses and dissertations

"''The Open Scholar Award is an excellent representation of both UBC and its graduate students’ dedication to showcasing our unique intellectual output. It gives graduate students an opportunity to showcase their knowledge outside of their normal networks while encouraging the spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity.''"
:- Christopher Roach, GSS President (2013-14)

===Value===
Each Award is worth $500 and will only be awarded to UBC Vancouver graduate students, not to supervisors or course instructors. If an award winning project has more than one graduate student author, each of these authors will receive an equal proportion of the award money.

==Eligibility==
To be eligible for entry into the Award lottery:
* You must be a registered graduate student at UBC Vancouver at the time you make your submission to cIRcle
* Your submission must have been made to cIRcle on or after July 9th 2012, the launch date of the Award
* You must have completed an exemplary non-thesis manuscript or project that is related to graduate coursework for submission to cIRcle
* You must have obtained the approval of your course instructor or a faculty member to submit your non-thesis manuscript or project to cIRcle
* Your submission must be openly accessible immediately

Members of the GSS Executive and Council are eligible for this Award. They have no direct participation in selecting the Award winners.

=== Types of work eligible for submission ===
* projects that are related to graduate coursework at UBC Vancouver '''and'''
* are approved for submission to cIRcle by your course instructor or faculty member

Some examples of possible types of work include:
* Essays/papers
* Presentations (including posters)
* Video and audio based projects
* Graduating projects or papers
* Authorized versions of published journal articles based on course-related research

===Multiple submissions===
Students may make multiple submissions each year, subject to course instructor or faculty member approval. However, any submission will be eligible for the Award only once, during the 6 month period immediately preceding either the April or October draw.

An individual may only win once per academic year (September-August), but will again become eligible for the award the following year. This applies to any submissions contributed individually, or as part of a team. Therefore, team submissions are not eligible if one of the team members has previously won an individual award during the current academic year.

=== If you have submitted eligible work to a different cIRcle collection ===
Please let us know immediately, by contacting ubc-circle@lists.ubc.ca. Eligible non-thesis graduate work submitted to specific disciplinary collections in cIRcle will be noted and accordingly included in the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award lottery.

==Submission==

UBC Vancouver graduate students upload their own work to cIRcle, subject to course instructor approval, to the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/42591 GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award] collection.

==Timing==
Four awards will be made per annum. In April & October, representatives from the GSS, cIRcle, and the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) will meet to select the two submissions that will win the Award.

Selections will be made based on a lottery system that is entirely random. The (G+PS) representative performs the selection, with the GSS and cIRcle representatives observing.

===Timeline===
On October 1st and on April 1st: cIRcle staff generate an online listing of all items uploaded to, or mapped into, the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award collection during the preceding six months:

* On April 1st, for the period October 1st to March 31st. '''Current submission deadline for this period is March 27, 2017.''' 

* On October 1st, for the period April 1st to September 30th. 
 

===Submission deadline===
Students may submit their projects to cIRcle at any time throughout the year.

To qualify for potential Award selection on a specific date, students should have their submissions uploaded to cIRcle '''at least one week ahead''' of the October 1st or April 1st selection dates. If you will be graduating, please ensure that you have completed your submission '''1-2 weeks before the end of your term as a registered student'''.

Students should also ensure that their course instructors are aware of the submissions since course instructors will have to login to cIRcle to approve student submissions online. After course instructor approval has been received in the cIRcle office, an additional two business days are required for cIRcle staff to verify your record and add it to the database.

The onus is on you to upload your submission in good time. If your submission is added to cIRcle after an Award selection date, it will be entered into the pool for the following Award selection date.

===Presentation===
The GSS announces the Award winners before the end of October or April, as the case may be, and organizes the official presentation of the Awards.

"''This opportunity is exactly the kind of thing that I hoped for when I started out as a graduate student. It is an opportunity to be recognized by my peers outside of the normal networks. This is an important initiative both for the collegial spirit it promotes and the way it encourages us to collaborate more openly. We look forward to hearing from you!''"
:- Conny Lin, GSS President (2012-13)

'''IMPORTANT!''' The GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award is no longer active. The GSS Award was a lottery based award for graduate students at UBC Vancouver which went live on July 9, 2012 and ended on May 1, 2017. The first two awards were presented on October 18, 2012.

'''As of May 1, 2017 the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award concluded its five-year term''' and the collection in cIRcle was renamed the UBC Graduate Research collection for non-thesis research material from both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses. Please visit our [http://circle.ubc.ca/submissions/submit-content/graduate-research-non-thesis/ Graduate Non-Thesis Research] page for information on how to submit your material to cIRcle.

==About==
The GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a lottery based award for graduate students at UBC Vancouver which went live on July 9, 2012 and ended on May 1, 2017. The [http://circle.sites.olt.ubc.ca/blog/gss-circle-open-scholar-award-winners/ first two awards] were presented on October 18, 2012.

Graduate students were eligible to submit exemplary '''non-thesis manuscripts or projects''' related to graduate coursework to the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/42591 GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award], with approval from their course instructors.

The Award was based on a lottery system held twice a year. A random selection was made from items submitted to cIRcle during the previous 6 month period – four awards will be made per annum, two in April and two in October.

'''This collection is NOT for UBC Theses and Dissertations''' which must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the [http://www.grad.ubc.ca/current-students/final-dissertation-thesis-submission/circle-instructions Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS)] into the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/24 Electronic Theses and Dissertations] collection in cIRcle. Please contact the G+PS for authorization to submit your thesis or dissertation.

===Background & Purpose===
The GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a five-year (2012-2017) collaboration of the [http://gss.ubc.ca/main/ Graduate Student Society] and cIRcle/UBC Library. The Award was the brainchild of Francisco Grajales, the GSS Senator at the time. He worked closely with Hilde Colenbrander (cIRcle Coordinator), the GSS Executive and others to implement this Award. The Award was approved by the UBC Vancouver Senate in late 2011, and technical implementation by cIRcle staff was completed in late June 2012.

The purpose of the Award was:
# To feature UBC as a leader in the open dissemination of graduate student work
# To create an incentive for graduate students to populate cIRcle with material beyond theses and dissertations

"''The Open Scholar Award is an excellent representation of both UBC and its graduate students’ dedication to showcasing our unique intellectual output. It gives graduate students an opportunity to showcase their knowledge outside of their normal networks while encouraging the spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity.''"
:- Christopher Roach, GSS President (2013-14)

===Value===
Each Award is worth $500 and will only be awarded to UBC Vancouver graduate students, not to supervisors or course instructors. If an award winning project has more than one graduate student author, each of these authors will receive an equal proportion of the award money.

==Eligibility==
To be eligible for entry into the Award lottery:
* You must be a registered graduate student at UBC Vancouver at the time you make your submission to cIRcle
* Your submission must have been made to cIRcle on or after July 9th 2012, the launch date of the Award
* You must have completed an exemplary non-thesis manuscript or project that is related to graduate coursework for submission to cIRcle
* You must have obtained the approval of your course instructor or a faculty member to submit your non-thesis manuscript or project to cIRcle
* Your submission must be openly accessible immediately

Members of the GSS Executive and Council are eligible for this Award. They have no direct participation in selecting the Award winners.

=== Types of work eligible for submission ===
* projects that are related to graduate coursework at UBC Vancouver '''and'''
* are approved for submission to cIRcle by your course instructor or faculty member

Some examples of possible types of work include:
* Essays/papers
* Presentations (including posters)
* Video and audio based projects
* Graduating projects or papers
* Authorized versions of published journal articles based on course-related research

===Multiple submissions===
Students may make multiple submissions each year, subject to course instructor or faculty member approval. However, any submission will be eligible for the Award only once, during the 6 month period immediately preceding either the April or October draw.

An individual may only win once per academic year (September-August), but will again become eligible for the award the following year. This applies to any submissions contributed individually, or as part of a team. Therefore, team submissions are not eligible if one of the team members has previously won an individual award during the current academic year.

=== If you have submitted eligible work to a different cIRcle collection ===
Please let us know immediately, by contacting ubc-circle@lists.ubc.ca. Eligible non-thesis graduate work submitted to specific disciplinary collections in cIRcle will be noted and accordingly included in the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award lottery.

==Submission==

UBC Vancouver graduate students upload their own work to cIRcle, subject to course instructor approval, to the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/42591 GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award] collection.

==About==
The GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a lottery based award for graduate students at UBC Vancouver which went live on July 9, 2012 and ended on May 1, 2017. The [http://circle.sites.olt.ubc.ca/blog/gss-circle-open-scholar-award-winners/ first two awards] were presented on October 18, 2012.

Graduate students were eligible to submit exemplary '''non-thesis manuscripts or projects''' related to graduate coursework to the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/42591 GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award], with approval from their course instructors.

The Award was based on a lottery system held twice a year. A random selection was made from items submitted to cIRcle during the previous 6 month period – four awards will be made per annum, two in April and two in October.

'''This collection is NOT for UBC Theses and Dissertations''' which must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the [http://www.grad.ubc.ca/current-students/final-dissertation-thesis-submission/circle-instructions Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS)] into the [https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/24 Electronic Theses and Dissertations] collection in cIRcle. Please contact the G+PS for authorization to submit your thesis or dissertation.

===Background & Purpose===
The GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award was a five-year (2012-2017) collaboration of the [http://gss.ubc.ca/main/ Graduate Student Society] and cIRcle/UBC Library. The Award was the brainchild of Francisco Grajales, the GSS Senator at the time. He worked closely with Hilde Colenbrander (cIRcle Coordinator), the GSS Executive and others to implement this Award. The Award was approved by the UBC Vancouver Senate in late 2011, and technical implementation by cIRcle staff was completed in late June 2012.

The purpose of the Award was:
# To feature UBC as a leader in the open dissemination of graduate student work
# To create an incentive for graduate students to populate cIRcle with material beyond theses and dissertations

"''The Open Scholar Award is an excellent representation of both UBC and its graduate students’ dedication to showcasing our unique intellectual output. It gives graduate students an opportunity to showcase their knowledge outside of their normal networks while encouraging the spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity.''"
:- Christopher Roach, GSS President (2013-14)

===Value===
Each Award is worth $500 and will only be awarded to UBC Vancouver graduate students, not to supervisors or course instructors. If an award winning project has more than one graduate student author, each of these authors will receive an equal proportion of the award money.

If you will be graduating, please ensure that you have completed your submission '''1-2 weeks before the end of your term as a registered student'''.

Students should also ensure that their course instructors are aware of the submissions since course instructors will have to login to cIRcle to approve student submissions online. After course instructor approval has been received in the cIRcle office, an additional two business days are required for cIRcle staff to verify your record and add it to the database.

The onus is on you to upload your submission in good time. If your submission is added to cIRcle after an Award selection date, it will be entered into the pool for the following Award selection date.

===Presentation===
The GSS announces the Award winners before the end of October or April, as the case may be, and organizes the official presentation of the Awards.

"''This opportunity is exactly the kind of thing that I hoped for when I started out as a graduate student. It is an opportunity to be recognized by my peers outside of the normal networks. This is an important initiative both for the collegial spirit it promotes and the way it encourages us to collaborate more openly. We look forward to hearing from you!''"
:- Conny Lin, GSS President (2012-13)

# After your course instructor’s online approval has been received by cIRcle staff, we require an additional two business days to verify your record and add it to cIRcle.
# When your submission is added to the cIRcle database, you will receive a confirmation email with the link to your project.
#* For your item statistics, click on the 'Show Statistical Information' link at the bottom of your item’s web page to see the number of page displays (views) and file downloads from top countries and cities.

==Timing==
Four awards will be made per annum. In April & October, representatives from the GSS, cIRcle, and the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) will meet to select the two submissions that will win the Award.

Selections will be made based on a lottery system that is entirely random. The (G+PS) representative performs the selection, with the GSS and cIRcle representatives observing.

===Timeline===
On October 1st and on April 1st: cIRcle staff generate an online listing of all items uploaded to, or mapped into, the GSS cIRcle Open Scholar Award collection during the preceding six months:

* On April 1st, for the period October 1st to March 31st. '''Current submission deadline for this period is March 27, 2017.''' 

* On October 1st, for the period April 1st to September 30th. 
 

===Submission deadline===
Students may submit their projects to cIRcle at any time throughout the year.

To qualify for potential Award selection on a specific date, students should have their submissions uploaded to cIRcle '''at least one week ahead''' of the October 1st or April 1st selection dates. If you will be graduating, please ensure that you have completed your submission '''1-2 weeks before the end of your term as a registered student'''.

Students should also ensure that their course instructors are aware of the submissions since course instructors will have to login to cIRcle to approve student submissions online. After course instructor approval has been received in the cIRcle office, an additional two business days are required for cIRcle staff to verify your record and add it to the database.

The onus is on you to upload your submission in good time. If your submission is added to cIRcle after an Award selection date, it will be entered into the pool for the following Award selection date.

===Presentation===
The GSS announces the Award winners before the end of October or April, as the case may be, and organizes the official presentation of the Awards.

"''This opportunity is exactly the kind of thing that I hoped for when I started out as a graduate student. It is an opportunity to be recognized by my peers outside of the normal networks. This is an important initiative both for the collegial spirit it promotes and the way it encourages us to collaborate more openly. We look forward to hearing from you!''"
:- Conny Lin, GSS President (2012-13)

JessicaWoolman: added Vantage College project with UBC Library

UBC's Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) supports and encourages innovation in teaching and the learning environment.

A variety of UBC faculty and departmental partners, including the Library, apply for and receive TLEF funding on a yearly basis. The Library's successful TLEF-funded projects over the past several years are listed below.
For a full listing, including departments and faculties across the university, visit the [http://tlef.ubc.ca UBC TLEF website].

| '''Expansion of Writing Support Resources: On-Call Workshops and Self-Directed Learning'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Meghan Aube, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
Partnering Units: UBC Library's Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and the Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication (CWSC) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1500 
|-
|-
| This project will provide resources to support student writing, with an emphasis on upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. We will produce customizable workshops and train peer facilitators to deliver them. We will also develop accompanying self-directed learning resources, such as resource sheets, annotated sample texts, and exercises that students can individually access online or be used in a peer-facilitated environment. 
|}
 
{|
|-
| '''Your Professional Digital Identity: Case Studies from the Digital Tattoo Project'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Julie Mitchell, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
Partnering Units: UBC Library, UBC’s Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT), the University of Toronto’s iSchool. 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 600 
|-
|-
| Our goal is to provide resources to support students making informed decisions about their digital identities and data ownership. Over two years, this pilot will be leveraged to develop a collection of open case studies to support graduates in Education, Law and Health Sciences. This year, we will build on our existing relationship with the Teacher Education Program to develop and pilot while identifying collaborators in the disciplines of Law and Health Sciences for an expanded project in year two.

{|
|-
| '''Greek Epigraphic Squeezes: Developing a Digital Environment''' (returning)
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Larissa Ringham, Digital Initiatives 
Partnering Units: UBC Library Digital Initiatives and the Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 300 
|-
|-
| The Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) holds an extensive collection of approximately 700 epigraphic squeezes, paper impressions of ancient Greek stone inscriptions. The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment. More about the squeeze collection and the project can be found on the [http://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/squeeze-collection/ CNERS student blog].

|-
| Partnering Units: Woodward Library and UBC's Faculty of Medicine
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 920
|-
| A web-based, interactive, simulated learning model will be developed and tested to teach students the steps of evidence-informed health care (EIHC). The team will develop a series of five Virtual Patient cases following the five steps of evidence based practice. The content and design of the cases developed through this project will allow integration into the curricula of all health professionals.

{|
|-
| '''Cultivating success for English as an Additional Language Students: a Library Flexible Learning Partnership''' 
|-
| Partnering Units: Vantage College, UBC iSchool and UBC Library
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 300
|-
| For this pilot project, a co-op student from SLAIS, the iSchool at UBC, supervised by a librarian at UBC Library, and in collaboration with the faculty and students at Vantage College, will develop online and classroom-based instructional resources to support Vantage College student success specifically, and all international, multilingual students at UBC more broadly, to take advantage of a suite of resources and services offered by UBC Library.
|}
 

=== Small TLEF Projects (new) ===
{|
|-
| '''Secondary Market Research Tutorial - Getting To Know Your Industry''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Aleha McCauley, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1650
|-
| Secondary research is integral to successful venture design, business planning and marketing strategy, but is seen by many as a time- consuming and challenging process. Understanding the difference between well-established and emerging or disruptive industries is an important first step to the research process. UBC librarians have been supporting students to learn how to identify and use credible open access and proprietary secondary sources through in-class demonstrations. This project will convert content that has traditionally been delivered in-person to an online, modular format, and engage students to develop a fresh student-centred perspective to this new series of animated "explainer" videos that will be repurposed across courses, disciplines and target audiences.

The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment.

|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1650
|-
| Secondary research is integral to successful venture design, business planning and marketing strategy, but is seen by many as a time- consuming and challenging process. Understanding the difference between well-established and emerging or disruptive industries is an important first step to the research process. UBC librarians have been supporting students to learn how to identify and use credible open access and proprietary secondary sources through in-class demonstrations. This project will convert content that has traditionally been delivered in-person to an online, modular format, and engage students to develop a fresh student-centred perspective to this new series of animated "explainer" videos that will be repurposed across courses, disciplines and target audiences.

| '''Expanding the Graduate Research Commons''' 
|-
| "Library contact:'' Trish Rosseel, Acting Head, Koerner Library 
|-
| The Library hopes to continue collaborating with FoGS and CTLT to renew and improve its current suite of services - thesis formatting support, citation management, and the Interdisciplinary Research Exchange. In addition, we hope to expand services to include peer-led data, GIS and statistical software support.

{|
|-
| '''Asian-Language Citation Guides''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Shirin Eshghi, Japanese Language Librarian 
|-
| This project will address the citation formatting needs of undergraduate and graduate students conducting research using Asian-language sources. This will entail creating citation guides outlining standardized citation styles for Asian-language sources for use in both English and Asian-language research papers, as well as within UBC theses and dissertations. Graduate students supervised by Asian Library librarians will research the specific citation requirements for Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian and Punjabi resources, and will develop online guides that will be available for use by all UBC students with reading proficiency in these languages.

| '''Building the Graduate Research Commons''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Trish Rosseel, Humanities and Social Sciences, Koerner Library 
|-
| One of the Library's key strategic goals is to develop user-centered spaces and services to enhance student learning, including the establishment of a Research Commons. In an effort to move forward as the physical space evolves, the Library plans to collaborate with campus partners to launch a suite of new services to assess their viability, scalability and sustainability. They will be coordinated by Library staff and delivered through a Research Commons Graduate Student Team. Establishment of the Research Commons will further UBC's Place and Promise plan, which outlines the need to both expand educational enrichment opportunities and build research spaces for collaboration and interdisciplinary work. It will also strengthen graduate student programs provided by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). Furthermore, it will build on the success of other student-centred spaces on campus that aim to enhance the educational experience.

JessicaWoolman: /* Small TLEF Projects (new) */

UBC's Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) supports and encourages innovation in teaching and the learning environment.

A variety of UBC faculty and departmental partners, including the Library, apply for and receive TLEF funding on a yearly basis. The Library's successful TLEF-funded projects over the past several years are listed below.
For a full listing, including departments and faculties across the university, visit the [http://tlef.ubc.ca UBC TLEF website].

== 2017/18==
=== Small TLEF Projects (new) ===
{|
|-
| '''Augmented Reality for Library Literacy'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Wendy Traas, Education Library 
Partnering Units: UBC Library's Chapman Learning Commons and School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (iSchool) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1500 
|-
|-
| The project will involve iSchool graduate students and Library staff working together to develop site specific, self-guided library tours to enhance student learning about the library while using augmented reality. 
|}
 
{|
|-
| '''ion of Writing Support Resources: On-Call Workshops and Self-Directed Learning'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Meghan Aube, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
Partnering Units: UBC Library's Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and the Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication (CWSC) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1500 
|-
|-
| This project will provide resources to support student writing, with an emphasis on upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. We will produce customizable workshops and train peer facilitators to deliver them. We will also develop accompanying self-directed learning resources, such as resource sheets, annotated sample texts, and exercises that students can individually access online or be used in a peer-facilitated environment. 
|}
 
{|
|-
| '''Your Professional Digital Identity: Case Studies from the Digital Tattoo Project'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Julie Mitchell, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
Partnering Units: UBC Library, UBC’s Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT), the University of Toronto’s iSchool. 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 600 
|-
|-
| Our goal is to provide resources to support students making informed decisions about their digital identities and data ownership. Over two years, this pilot will be leveraged to develop a collection of open case studies to support graduates in Education, Law and Health Sciences. This year, we will build on our existing relationship with the Teacher Education Program to develop and pilot while identifying collaborators in the disciplines of Law and Health Sciences for an expanded project in year two. 
|}

== 2016/17==
=== Large TLEF Projects (returning) ===

{|
|-
| '''Greek Epigraphic Squeezes: Developing a Digital Environment'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Larissa Ringham, Digital Initiatives 
Partnering Units: UBC Library Digital Initiatives and the Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 300 
|-
|-
| The Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) holds an extensive collection of approximately 700 epigraphic squeezes, paper impressions of ancient Greek stone inscriptions. The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment. More about the squeeze collection and the project can be found on the [http://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/squeeze-collection/ CNERS student blog].

{|
|-
| '''Scaffolding and Scaling up Integrated Experiential Learning Experiences in the Core Series, Land and Food Systems''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Katherine Miller, Woodward Library and Hilde Colenbrander, cIRcle, UBC's Institutional Repository 
|-
| Partnering Units: Woodward Library, cIRcle and Land and Food Systems 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 4187
|-
|}
 
{|
|-
| '''WICKED (West Coast Interprofessional Clinical Knowledge Evidence Disseminator)''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Charlotte Beck, Woodward Library 
|-
| Partnering Units: Woodward Library and UBC's Faculty of Medicine
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 920
|-
| A web-based, interactive, simulated learning model will be developed and tested to teach students the steps of evidence-informed health care (EIHC). The team will develop a series of five Virtual Patient cases following the five steps of evidence based practice. The content and design of the cases developed through this project will allow integration into the curricula of all health professionals.
|}
 
=== Small TLEF Projects (new) ===
{|
|-
| '''Secondary Market Research Tutorial - Getting To Know Your Industry''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Aleha McCauley, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1650
|-
| Secondary research is integral to successful venture design, business planning and marketing strategy, but is seen by many as a time- consuming and challenging process. Understanding the difference between well-established and emerging or disruptive industries is an important first step to the research process. UBC librarians have been supporting students to learn how to identify and use credible open access and proprietary secondary sources through in-class demonstrations.

| '''Greek Epigraphic Squeezes: Developing a Digital Environment'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Larissa Ringham, Digital Initiatives 
Partnering Units: UBC Library Digital Initiatives and the Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) 
|-
| The Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) holds an extensive collection of approximately 700 epigraphic squeezes, paper impressions of ancient Greek stone inscriptions. The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment. More about the squeeze collection and the project can be found on the [http://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/squeeze-collection/ CNERS student blog].

|-
| Legal Research and Writing is a mandatory 2-credit first year course. The Library hopes to work with CTLT to transform existing face to face course – currently delivered in eight sections to approximately 185 students – into an online environment. The goal is to move the course fully online within two years. The course would be beneficial to other members of UBC and the wider community, who are interested in developing these skills, and there is a possibility that the course may be adopted by other Canadian law schools and institutions that offer law-related programs.

Digital badges are emerging as a vital component of open, flexible learning systems as a way to signify levels of participation as well as the achievement of skills and knowledge. Within UBC, badge technologies have also been identified as an essential horizon to be explored in realizing our flexible learning potential. This project will convene UBC badge ‘early-adopters’ representing six Faculties, together with CTLT expertise, to collectively pioneer badge-based learning pathways on behalf of the entire campus. The pilot program includes formal and informal learning contexts as well as participatory and competency outcomes.

|-
| ''Library contact:'' Aleha McCauley, Community Engagement Librarian, Business Services 
Project partners: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) and Sauder School of Business 
|-
| Entrepreneurship 101 is a university-wide initiative, bringing together students from multiple faculties to consider a future for themselves as entrepreneurs. This project will convert freshly developed e-curriculum into an innovative mixed mode format, with half of the work done in person and half-done online. E101 content is suited to this flexible learning approach as students take the concepts and tools they experience in class and apply them to Entrepreneurship Portfolios built around their own future ventures. Online learning can be customized to meet different student knowledge backgrounds. The mixed mode format also follows for future course scaling. Dr. Newton has developed multiple, successful mixed mode courses. The Library will be involved in the creation of e-learning resources and both in-person and online instruction in support of these courses.

JessicaWoolman: Added 2016/17 projects

UBC's Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) supports and encourages innovation in teaching and the learning environment.

A variety of UBC faculty and departmental partners, including the Library, apply for and receive TLEF funding on a yearly basis. The Library's successful TLEF-funded projects over the past several years are listed below.
For a full listing, including departments and faculties across the university, visit the [http://tlef.ubc.ca UBC TLEF website].

|-
| '''Greek Epigraphic Squeezes: Developing a Digital Environment'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Larissa Ringham, Digital Initiatives 
Partnering Units: UBC Library Digital Initiatives and the Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 300 
|-
|-
| The Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) holds an extensive collection of approximately 700 epigraphic squeezes, paper impressions of ancient Greek stone inscriptions. The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment. More about the squeeze collection and the project can be found on the [http://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/squeeze-collection/ CNERS student blog].

| '''Secondary Market Research Tutorial - Getting To Know Your Industry''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Aleha McCauley, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 
|-
| Projected Number of Students Impacted: 1650
|-
| Secondary research is integral to successful venture design, business planning and marketing strategy, but is seen by many as a time- consuming and challenging process. Understanding the difference between well-established and emerging or disruptive industries is an important first step to the research process. UBC librarians have been supporting students to learn how to identify and use credible open access and proprietary secondary sources through in-class demonstrations. This project will convert content that has traditionally been delivered in-person to an online, modular format, and engage students to develop a fresh student-centred perspective to this new series of animated "explainer" videos that will be repurposed across courses, disciplines and target audiences.

| ''Library contact:'' Sandra Wilkins, George Tsaikos and Mary Mitchell, Law Library at Allard Hall 
|-
| Partnering Units: Law Library and the Peter A. Allard School of Law 
|-
| Legal Research and Writing is a mandatory 2-credit first year course. The Library hopes to work with CTLT to transform existing face to face course – currently delivered in eight sections to approximately 185 students – into an online environment. The goal is to move the course fully online within two years. The course would be beneficial to other members of UBC and the wider community, who are interested in developing these skills, and there is a possibility that the course may be adopted by other Canadian law schools and institutions that offer law-related programs.

|-
| Partnering Units: UBC Library, CTLT and the Masters of Education Technology 
Digital badges are emerging as a vital component of open, flexible learning systems as a way to signify levels of participation as well as the achievement of skills and knowledge. Within UBC, badge technologies have also been identified as an essential horizon to be explored in realizing our flexible learning potential. This project will convene UBC badge ‘early-adopters’ representing six Faculties, together with CTLT expertise, to collectively pioneer badge-based learning pathways on behalf of the entire campus. The pilot program includes formal and informal learning contexts as well as participatory and competency outcomes.

|-
| UBC students benefit from the Library’s digitized collections but they are currently delivered in a passive environment- students can view digital collections and cite them as primary sources in papers, but there is not a method for delivering a more immersive experience, such as is practiced in the Digital Humanities. Using a collection of letters from the B.C. Gold Rush era, this project proposes to expose UBC History students studying B.C. history to such an immersive experience by providing an online mechanism for the students to participate in the transcription, description and analysis of the letters.

|-
| ''Library contact:'' Aleha McCauley, Community Engagement Librarian, Business Services 
Project partners: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) and Sauder School of Business 
|-
| Entrepreneurship 101 is a university-wide initiative, bringing together students from multiple faculties to consider a future for themselves as entrepreneurs. This project will convert freshly developed e-curriculum into an innovative mixed mode format, with half of the work done in person and half-done online. E101 content is suited to this flexible learning approach as students take the concepts and tools they experience in class and apply them to Entrepreneurship Portfolios built around their own future ventures. Online learning can be customized to meet different student knowledge backgrounds. The mixed mode format also follows for future course scaling. Dr. Newton has developed multiple, successful mixed mode courses. The Library will be involved in the creation of e-learning resources and both in-person and online instruction in support of these courses.

| '''Greek Epigraphic Squeezes: Developing a Digital Environment'''
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Larissa Ringham, Digital Initiatives 
Partnering Units: UBC Library Digital Initiatives and the Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) 
|-
| The Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies (CNERS) holds an extensive collection of approximately 700 epigraphic squeezes, paper impressions of ancient Greek stone inscriptions. The collection is comparable to few in North America and is a valuable pedagogical source of material; however, the materials are not accessible in their current fragile physical state. This CNERS student-driven project proposes to collaborate with the UBC Library to digitize the squeezes collection and develop the descriptive content necessary to deliver a comprehensive online collection. Once digitized, the materials will be used to introduce approximately 135 upper-undergraduate and graduate level students to the primary sources each year through classroom assignments in an online environment, and engage them in translation exercises that would give them an introduction to the Digital Humanities environment. More about the squeeze collection and the project can be found on the [http://fromstonetoscreen.wordpress.com/squeeze-collection/ CNERS student blog].

|-
| Legal Research and Writing is a mandatory 2-credit first year course. The Library hopes to work with CTLT to transform existing face to face course – currently delivered in eight sections to approximately 185 students – into an online environment. The goal is to move the course fully online within two years. The course would be beneficial to other members of UBC and the wider community, who are interested in developing these skills, and there is a possibility that the course may be adopted by other Canadian law schools and institutions that offer law-related programs.

To further advance service development of the Research Commons, the Library seeks to continue collaborating with partners to renew and improve its current suite of services – thesis formatting support, citation management, statistical software support and our interdisciplinary research discussion series. In addition, we are keen to build on recent explorations of data management planning support, expand statistical software support to include a tool for qualitative data analysis, and initiate support for the research ethics application process and for an interdisciplinary cinema salon series.

Project partners: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) and Sauder School of Business 
|-
| Entrepreneurship 101 is a university-wide initiative, bringing together students from multiple faculties to consider a future for themselves as entrepreneurs. This project will convert freshly developed e-curriculum into an innovative mixed mode format, with half of the work done in person and half-done online. E101 content is suited to this flexible learning approach as students take the concepts and tools they experience in class and apply them to Entrepreneurship Portfolios built around their own future ventures. Online learning can be customized to meet different student knowledge backgrounds. The mixed mode format also follows for future course scaling. Dr. Newton has developed multiple, successful mixed mode courses. The Library will be involved in the creation of e-learning resources and both in-person and online instruction in support of these courses.

| A web-based, interactive, simulated learning model will be developed and tested to teach students the steps of evidence-informed health care (EIHC). The team will develop a series of five Virtual Patient cases following the five steps of evidence based practice. The content and design of the cases developed through this project will allow integration into the curricula of all health professionals.

| '''Expanding the Graduate Research Commons''' 
|-
| "Library contact:'' Trish Rosseel, Acting Head, Koerner Library 
|-
| The Library hopes to continue collaborating with FoGS and CTLT to renew and improve its current suite of services - thesis formatting support, citation management, and the Interdisciplinary Research Exchange. In addition, we hope to expand services to include peer-led data, GIS and statistical software support.

| '''Asian-Language Citation Guides''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Shirin Eshghi, Japanese Language Librarian 
|-
| This project will address the citation formatting needs of undergraduate and graduate students conducting research using Asian-language sources. This will entail creating citation guides outlining standardized citation styles for Asian-language sources for use in both English and Asian-language research papers, as well as within UBC theses and dissertations. Graduate students supervised by Asian Library librarians will research the specific citation requirements for Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian and Punjabi resources, and will develop online guides that will be available for use by all UBC students with reading proficiency in these languages.

| '''Building the Graduate Research Commons''' 
|-
| ''Library contact:'' Trish Rosseel, Humanities and Social Sciences, Koerner Library 
|-
| One of the Library's key strategic goals is to develop user-centered spaces and services to enhance student learning, including the establishment of a Research Commons. In an effort to move forward as the physical space evolves, the Library plans to collaborate with campus partners to launch a suite of new services to assess their viability, scalability and sustainability. They will be coordinated by Library staff and delivered through a Research Commons Graduate Student Team. Establishment of the Research Commons will further UBC's Place and Promise plan, which outlines the need to both expand educational enrichment opportunities and build research spaces for collaboration and interdisciplinary work. It will also strengthen graduate student programs provided by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). Furthermore, it will build on the success of other student-centred spaces on campus that aim to enhance the educational experience.
