The global pandemic is preventing the NSCAD community from visiting the university’s campuses, however the Library and its support services are still available online to students, faculty and staff.
The NSCAD library continues to offer the vast majority of services it offered prior to the temporary closure of NSCAD’s campuses. The Library has full-text collections of journals and magazines available, as well as streamed videos and e-books to assist with studies and research. Librarians and library staff are also ready to answer any questions and provide more in-depth support.
