Docking stations installed at Education Library

The Education Library is now piloting laptop docking stations. Three stations have been installed at the front of the library and are available on a first-come, first-served basis to all library users.   

Each docking station comes equipped with a universal dock that connects to a secondary monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Library users can connect their own laptops to the station via USB-C or USB A/B adapter.

Users will still be required to log in as usual on their laptop with a UBC Campus-Wide Login (CWL) or OpenAthens account to access the library’s electronic resources.

Gearing Up for Practicum

This event is running from 17 January 2023 until 14 March 2023. French consults are available virtually on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
