They are introducing many new features including personalized dashboards, new ways to share and like resources, reading eBooks, and much more.

How will the new EBSCO differ from what I have today?

They have reimagined the new EBSCOhost experience and user interface (UI) based on customer feedback, usage data, user research and usability studies. The redesigned UI presents users with new, intuitive ways to refine, navigate, like and share search results.

The AC Library currently subscribes to 28 EBSCO databases. We have provided a list of databases that will be affected:

  • Academic Search Complete

How to Cite Right and Avoid Plagiarism

Have you ever invested your own time studying for an upcoming test only to notice the person next to you looking at your answers? Or maybe you put a lot of effort into a group project only to have another person take credit for your work. These situations can be pretty unpleasant and can make you feel as though your energy and effort is being devalued. This is just one of the reasons why it’s so important to cite the sources you’ve used in your assignments and projects – everyone deserves credit where credit is due!

If you’re unsure how to properly create citations, don’t sweat it – we’re here to provide you with helpful services and resources to make the process as painless as possible.

Workshops

Free skill-building Workshops are available on a weekly basis:

  • Avoiding Plagiarism: Gain a better understanding of what is expected of you academically in relation to citing your sources and avoiding plagiarism.
  • Cite Right! APA Bootcamp: Find out how to use in-text citations, how to paraphrase and format a reference list, get hands on experience creating references for different types of sources, and more.
  • Intro to the Library workshops: Discover our 24/7 digital resources and find out how to use and navigate online library tools.
  • Finding Academic Articles: Learn how to find academic articles using library resources. Learn how to discover the characteristics of an academic article and how to differentiate it from a popular source.

Workshops are offered both online using Zoom and on campus (Ottawa) in room C263. Click here to view the full Workshops Schedule.

Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism Guide

In the Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism Guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Cite Your Sources: This guide includes style manuals and information to help you cite in different styles, as well as a series of interactive modules to help you learn the basics of using APA style.
  • Avoid Plagiarism: Not sure if you’re doing everything you need to do to avoid plagiarism? Not even exactly sure what plagiarism is? This guide will explain everything you need to know and what you are responsible for as a student at Algonquin College.
  • AI: Generative Artificial Intelligence: Find general information on Generative AI, as well as guidance on using and citing AI in an academic setting. Always consult your instructor before using generative AI tools in your coursework to ensure that you are not committing an act of academic misconduct.

The Learning Portal

We also recommend exploring the Learning Portal’s How to Cite Module. Here you will learn about:

  • Why you should cite: to prevent plagiarism and give credit to other’s work, as well as providing evidence for the topics presented in your research.
  • Citation styles: there are many different styles of citing and each comes with its own set of rules and formatting of content. Your teacher will often tell you which style they want you to use (ex: APA, MLA, etc.)
  • How to build citations: building proper citations is a crucial step in allowing readers to trace back your information and is also a form of protection from accusations of plagiarism. Learn how to build in-text citations and references/work cited
  • Citation tools: Writing a citation from scratch can seem daunting but once you become familiar with citation generating tools, it will help simplify the process.

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honors the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.

Algonquin College campuses (Ottawa, Pembroke and Perth) are located on the traditional unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People. The Algonquin People have inhabited and cared for these lands long before today. We take this time to show our gratitude and respect to them, and to the land for all that it provides us: trees to give shade, water, and food to sustain us, and paths to connect us. As a post-secondary institution, we embrace the responsibility to help ensure that the next generations of land stewards are respectful and grateful for the bounty of this land on which we all live, work, play, and study.

We commit to continue to explore and make meaningful contributions to the Calls to Action that result from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).

Algonquin College Campus Events

  • The Ottawa campus Library will be screening several short films about residential schools. This will take place on Friday, September 29th in the Kejeyàdizidjigwogamig, or the Knowledge Keepers Place (Room C350) from 1:00pm – 2:00pm.

Empower with The Learning Portal’s Maamwi Hub

The creation of the Learning Portal’s Maamwi Hub was inspired by the TRC 94 Calls to Action to ensure that the 24 Colleges of Ontario lead in the education of both staff and students on Indigenous history, culture, knowledge, and current Indigenous worldviews.

The word “Maamwi” means “Together” in Anishinaabemowin, one of the widely spoken Indigenous languages in the territory currently referred to as Ontario.

Developed in partnership with the Indigenous Peoples Education Circle and College Libraries Ontario, and part of the ongoing reconciliation journey, the Maamwi Hub serves as a collaborative pathway to learn and reflect on the past and present impacts of colonial history on Indigenous Peoples. Discover an expansive collection of credible and relevant educational materials, explore ways of connecting and collaborating with Indigenous communities, and become an active participant on the path towards reconciliation.

The Maamwi Hub is made up of 5 major sections: About, Discover, Inquire, Inspire, and Empower. This week, we wanted to focus on the Empower section as it provides users with resources to connect and collaborate, share ideas, learn from one another, and support each other on the path to reconciliation.

  • Expand your understanding: Resources to support with engaging with Truth and Reconciliation, using respectful terminology, and expanding your understanding of stereotypes & racism.
  • Participate: Resources providing an overview of days of significance, events, and Indigenous organizations.
  • Explore & Connect: Provides an overview of Indigenous communities, places, and spaces within Ontario.
  • Learning Resources: A selection of resources which may help broaden awareness and understanding of Indigenous topics within Canada.Maamwi Hub

“Rather than having a single goal related to Truth and Reconciliation or Indigeneity, we must be committed to adapting our processes and practices to honor and reflect Indigenous ways of knowing.” Click here to learn more about what this means for Algonquin College.
