Student Library Advisory Committee 2025/26
The University of Alberta Library created the Student Library Advisory Committee (SLAC) to better engage with students and improve the student library experience. Committee members provide feedback on library services and can raise issues or share suggestions with the Library. They also serve as library ambassadors to their respective campus communities.
Membership is open to current undergraduate and graduate students at the U of A. Members are selected through an application process. The committee meets roughly once a month during the academic year.
Recently SLAC has helped the Library regarding:
- New Library Services Platform (LSP)
- Affordable Course Materials + Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Initiative
- Signage and Study Zones
- Research Skills Micro-Courses
- Library Outreach and Giveaways
SLAC co-chairs:
