The Library is pleased to announce that it is now Late Fee Free. With the exception of some items in our collection, students will no longer accrue late fees on overdue items. Late fees pose a significant barrier to Library access for many students. Removing late fees will provide a more accessible and equitable post-secondary experience for Langara students.
For more information about how the borrowing process will change for students, as well as important exceptions to this new initiative, please visit the Library’s Renewals, Holds, and Replacement Charges page.
The Library's migration from EZproxy to OpenAthens for authentication is complete, however there may be some remaining issues as we continue to work with our vendors to test and perfect the new system. If you encounter any issues accessing library resources, please let us know and we can look into it. Thank you for your patience!
The service interruption continues as we transition from EZproxy to OpenAthens, our new authentication system for library e-resource access. Many links have been updated on the library website and in our library catalogue, but more work will continue over the coming days. If you're having urgent issues accessing anything, please contact libref@langara.ca Thank you so much for your continued patience! We will update here when the transition is complete.
There will be a service interruption on August 19 as we transition from EZproxy to OpenAthens, our new authentication system for library e-resource access. From approximately 6 AM, we will be updating links in our library catalogue, assignment and subject guides, Talis Reading Lists, and databases. Saved bookmarks to library content may also be affected.
We appreciate your patience during this transition and will aim to complete the transition as quickly as possible.
Attention faculty and instructors: If you share online library resources through bookmarked links, Brightspace, Reading Lists, syllabi, or other course materials, please note that the authentication process is changing before the Fall 2024 semester. The Library is transitioning from EZproxy to OpenAthens, a more secure and user-friendly authentication system. Take a few minutes to learn about this change and the steps you need to take to ensure your resource links are updated and ready for students in September.
