Boozhoo - Hello

WETCC Library is located in the south wing in Room 202 - Wiigwass, the Ojibwe word for birch. Birch bark was the first material used by the Anishnaabe to make scrolls on which to record, and later retrieve, important information.

Fortunately, we no longer depend on birch bark scrolls in the library. Neither do we rely solely on bound paper books anymore. (Don't worry, we still have plenty of books!)

Besides books, our collection also includes audio and visual materials in several different formats, including CD and DVD, as well as periodicals and other learning resources.

In addition, the WETCC Library provides access to a world of digital content via the internet and online databases, like those found in the right sidebar of this page.

Perhaps the most helpful resource of all is our librarian, Tammi Jalowiec. If you have difficulty finding information, let her know. She has been trained in information storage and retrieval strategies and is passionate about information literacy. So whether you're looking for something to read for leisure or you need to locate data on an obscure research topic, Tammi is eager to help you!
