Education Library

The Education Library provides resources and services to Queen's students, faculty, and staff, and for teachers, alumni and community members. Our physical space is wireless and offers comfortable seating for both independent study and group work. The collection includes over 200,000 books, approximately 400 education journals in print format, and over 1000 education-related journals in electronic format. Teaching resources include a collection of new textbooks that are approved for use in Ontario by the Ministry of Education and date from 1998 to the present alongside a collection of historic textbooks dating back to the 1950s. Ministry of Education curriculum documents are grouped as a separate collection. The Faculty of Education Projects and Theses collection is available in print copy with recent theses also accessible electronically. A Multimedia Collection offers educational kits, posters, games, toys, videos, CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks. Also available to patrons is an Ellison letter machine with over 100 letters and shapes and 26 computers that provide access to the Internet, Microsoft Office, and to locally networked specialized research databases. There are two teaching areas: our Teaching Corner and an E-Classroom. Self-service photocopiers and printers are available, as well as a document delivery service and a multimedia viewing area for the previewing of audio visual material.

The Education Library is open year round with evening and weekend hours of service when classes are in session. Reference assistance is available for many of the Education Library's hours of opening. Instruction is provided for all library users, from one-on-one drop-in service to arranged curriculum-based classes.
