Library
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 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.
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.
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:
Red Deer Polytechnic recognizes that our campus is situated on Treaty 7 land, the traditional territory of the Blackfoot, Tsuu T’ina and Stoney Nakoda peoples, and that the central Alberta region we serve falls under Treaty 6, traditional Métis, Cree and Saulteaux territory. We honour the First Peoples who have lived here since time immemorial, and we give thanks for the land where RDP sits. This is where we will strive to honour and transform our relationships with one another.
