Camosun visit

I met with Sybil Harrison at Camosun College library the other day. We talked about what the library is currently doing to help their First Nation, Metis and Inuit students. The librarians have put together a couple of really good subject guides for First Nations Studies and First Nations Literature; they visit communities to do library orientations; they are involved with the people in Aborignal Education and Community connections office; and they are conscientious and thorough with their collection for First Nations courses and related courses. Sybil said that in spite of budget cuts and shortfalls for collections, the First Nations materials collection is excellent and thriving. Well done, Camosun librarians!

Sybil and I agreed that we should consider collaborative efforts for students given that many students start at Camosun and then transfer to UVic. We will be talking about this some more when we get together later this month for the Camas Harvest and Pit Cook to be held at Camosun College.
