Library use guidelines & policies

We acknowledge and respect the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples on whose territory the university stands, and the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

In recognition of the ongoing colonial influence in university structures, University of Victoria Libraries recognizes the responsibilities we carry to students, staff, faculty, and community. University of Victoria Libraries is committed to upholding an environment which prioritizes anti-racism, decolonization, inclusion, equity, diversity, and respect.
