Library

The Yellowhead Tribal College Library serves the mission of the College by actively supporting teaching and learning, and by promoting First Nations culture through its collections and programming. The library is developing a strong and comprehensive Aboriginal Collection which includes books, ebooks, reference materials, journals, videos and DVDs, and aboriginal language resources. The library houses books and resources from a variety of disciplines, as well as reference materials, popular fiction, magazines and journals, and other information resources.

The First Nations Information Connection (FNIC) connects our students to our library collections, as well as to a large and expanding collection of academic digital materials that include full-text electronic databases, e-books, research guides as well as an excellent directory of web resources with a First Nations emphasis. FNIC can be accessed either on campus or from home. The library is also a member of The Alberta Library (TAL). With a TAL card, YTC students can borrow books from many participating public, academic, and special libraries across Alberta.

All students and staff are welcome to visit our library for an introduction to our services and borrowing policies. Library staff members are pleased to work with students individually and in class groups to provide research assistance, to teach them how to use the library and electronic resources, and to help students find the information they need for their assignments. The library is equipped with study carrels, computers, and a quiet lounge area. Photocopying service is available.
