Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection: Access the Collection

The following are the guidelines for accessing Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection which is located in the Abbotsford Campus library:

• The Collection is searchable through the UFV Library's catalogue (see the search box below).  The collection resides in our Special Collections' vault which is only accessible by UFV Library staff.
• You will be asked to provide a drivers’ license or student card, which will be kept by staff while the cookbook titles are being used.
• A form must be filled out for each item used. If you are not a student or a community borrower, you will be asked to provide your name and address instead.
• Cookbook titles must be used with staff supervision. You must remain at the designated desk space at the circulation desk to use these special materials.
• Each item will be checked when it is returned to ensure it is in the same condition as when it was given to you.
• There may be times when we are short on staff to retrieve requested items (i.e. evening or weekends).  You can make an appointment to view cookbook titles during times when we have more staff available to help.  Please use our Reference Request Form (see link below)
