Education Library

The Education Library provides resources and services to Queen's students, faculty, and staff, and to local school teachers, alumni, and community members. The physical space is engaging and collaborative and offers wireless connectivity, comfortable seating for both independent study and group work, and dedicated teaching areas. The collection includes over 200,000 books, a growing collection of e-books and streamed video, over 1000 education-related online journals, a children’s and young adult collection, and textbooks approved for use by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Multimedia resources include models, artefacts, primary sources, posters, games, and hands-on manipulatives for classroom teaching. Also available to patrons are 27 computer workstations with access to a suite of information tools and databases and an Ellison letter machine with over 100 letters and shapes. There are two teaching areas: a Teaching Corner and an e-Classroom. Self-service photocopying and printing are offered as well as an interlibrary loan and document delivery service.

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 hours of opening. Instruction is provided for all library users, from  one-on-one drop-in sessions to pre-arranged curriculum-based classes. For further information about the Education Library's hours, programs, services and collections, see the website at http://library.queensu.ca/webedu/.
