About the Library

The Library provides access to a unique collection of diverse resources that support curricular and research activities across the University. The primary focus of the collection is on contemporary art, media and design, along with related materials to support art and design history.

The Library collection is composed of print resources including books, journals and exhibition catalogues; a broad range of electronic resources; slides and digital images; films, videos and DVDs; sound effects; artists' books; the University's archives; and a menu collection.

Although the Library is primarily dedicated to supporting the Emily Carr community, we are also open to the public for research. Borrowing privileges are available to the public through our community borrowers program.

Search the Library's online catalogue to view our collection, and access our many eResources by selecting one of the headings from navigational menu.
