Concordia University Libraries is the library system at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Concordia University has two library locations, the R. Howard Webster Library located in the J.W. McConnell Building of the Sir George Williams Campus and the Georges P. Vanier Library on the Loyola Campus.
Concordia University Libraries house several special collections including the Azrieli Holocaust Collection and the Irving Layton Collection.[2] Most Special Collections are located in the Vanier Library. The Libraries also maintain the University's institutional repository, Spectrum.[3]
The Concordia University Libraries is a member of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries.[4] Concordia University Libraries also has partnerships with the Canadian Research Knowledge Network and the The Data Liberation Initiative.[5]
Since 1990, Concordia University Libraries has been hosting an annual public holiday auction, held every December, where all proceeds go to over 10 Montreal-based charities. The fund-raising event is planned and run wholly by the Library staff, also featuring a bazaar and pot luck lunch.
