Welcome to our new website!
July 28, 2025
UVic Libraries is excited to welcome you to our new website. Come on in and have a look around!
The new site has been completely redesigned to reflect the needs of students and faculty. It follows the familiar template of other UVic websites and has been designed with accessibility top of mind.
We conducted 7 different research activities and connected with over 500 students, faculty, and staff while designing this site. Our findings from these activities directly informed the new site’s content and structure.
New features to check out
- Landing pages specifically curated for students, researchers and instructors, designed to help you access important information quickly
- All-new Indigenous resource hub focused on local materials and Indigenous creators
- Information for students with disabilities based on real user feedback
- New landing pages for the Digital Scholarship Commons and Special Collections & University Archives
- Kula: Library Futures Academy, showcasing exciting transdisciplinary research projects
- Revamped information on media & making, assignment help, and scholarly research support
