As you fill your basket with reading contenders for your online courses, you may be wondering how to bring in a variety of Indigenous perspectives relevant to the learning objectives. You may also have concerns about designing your assignments about Indigenous topics in ways that the library has appropriate e-materials to support. This workshop will introduce you to the curated resources and expertise available from the Xwi7xwa Library that we want you to know about as you as you design these critical course components. Not ready to work with a Librarian directly? We will show you some helpful tips and new tools to help you discover relevant Indigenous content in the UBC Library more efficiently independently, too!
