New eLibrary Essential Collections: Live
Have you clicked the banner in eLibrary Canada (or used a direct URL) to take the new version for a spin? If so, you may have noticed one of the most useful additions--the new Essential Collections, or special pages.
Essential Collections combine eLibrary's 65 million documents with editorially-prepared content on top queried and studied topics. Our editors bring best-of material "above the fold" that helps students understand the context of a topic and discover pathways for further exploration.
This means what users need first, they see first--so they spend less time searching and more time learning!
Below is a short list of current Essential Collections (view all), live in our preview or in process for launch very soon. Conduct a keyword search on each item, and the collection will appear at the top of the search results:
- Adoption
- Animal Testing
- Basketball
- Canada
- China

Classroom Activities
First Nations Rights & Issues
The 10th anniversary of the Canadian government's apology for its mistreatment of First Nations peoples was observed earlier this month (1.7).
There is controversy over that apology because it may set a precedent for the government to acknowledge other types of transgressions of the past. But others believe that the apology did soothe the leaders and set the stage for a new era of cooperation and civil rights in Canada.
ProQuest has created a Canadian-focused BookCart learning activity to help teachers provide students with a one-stop collection of resources to learn more about First Nations and their civil rights issues: Native Peoples of Canada--Issues.
