Library
The Cape Breton University Library provides access to information supporting the University’s programs, teaching, and research. We strive to provide an environment encouraging scholarship, creativity, and skill-based learning.
The primary Library collection consists of over 280,000 print and electronic books, government documents, videos and DVDs and 20,000+ print and electronic periodicals including national and local newspapers. The Cape Breton University Library is home to several special collections including:
The Bras d’Or Institute Collection of Cape Breton Studies;
Dr. Thomas Joseph Khattar Collection;
Scottish Collection and the Jacobite Collection;
National Film Board Collection;
Centre for International Studies Collection;
Pearson Peacekeeping Collection
Access to information is facilitated through Novanet, our online catalogue, the Library’s Journal Titles List, and numerous indexing and abstracting tools. Our increasing electronic collection can be accessed on campus or at home.
The Cape Breton University Library is a member of Novanet, a network of 10 Nova Scotia academic libraries. Benefits of membership are numerous but for our users, the ability to borrow from each library upon presentation of the CBU Student/Faculty ID is most significant.
