On-site and Electronic Library Resources
The Sheridan College Library provides information to over 30,000 students in various subject fields, including Crafts and Design. It maintains two libraries, one each at Brampton and Oakville campuses, with free exchange of materials. The Trafalgar campus library serves Craft and Design programs. The facility provides up-to-date information through conventional and non-conventional sources to support the curriculum requirements of various courses. The library maintains a collection of printed and electronic books, videos, DVDs, and subscribes to printed and e-Journals. The online databases provide access to millions of full-text articles, conference proceedings, technical reports, etc. Two e-Books databases are able to link students to the full contents of several thousand books online. Through the library’s video-streaming service, students can watch over 7,000 international and Canadian videos. The Library also subscribes to VTC Online University that provides in-depth training on hundreds of today's most sought-after computer applications in various fields, with over 98,729 narrated QuickTime tutorials. Most of the resources can be freely used on the college campus as well as at home through the Library Website.
User Services librarians provide classroom instructions to students on searching the online resources and creating bibliographies using APA and MLA formats. Reference librarians always actively interact with the students to help them meet their information needs. The Collections librarian has been adding recent material to the Library collection regularly in consultation with the program coordinators to keep the collection up-to-date.
The Sheridan College Library is part of a consortium of 24 Ontario colleges of applied arts and has full access to their resources. The Library is able to borrow materials from any of these college libraries, and some other affiliated libraries and institutions.
