Faculty Support at RDP Library

Services and resources to support teaching and research at Red Deer Polytechnic.

Library Collection

The Library provides a collection of physical and electronic resources to support RDP programs. 

Faculty are invited to help build the Library collection in their area of expertise. Send suggestions for additions to our collection to your Subject Librarian.

Reserves Collection

Reserves are high-demand items available for short-term loans, such as select textbooks and course-specific readings, laptops, and other equipment. The Reserve Collection is located at the Library Desk on the Main Floor.

Library Reserves Form

Textbook Collection

To support student success and reduce barriers, the Library has added several textbooks to our Reserve Collection, primarily for introductory or first year courses and classes with multiple sections where the textbook cost is more than $100. 

Note that textbooks that include a single-user online access component will only be available without that access, due to the publishers' licensing restrictions. 

Streaming Video Collection

The Library subscribes to several streaming video services; these videos are available both on and off-campus, and can be integrated into your Blackboard course. For a complete list, see:
