Blog written by Rachael Huegerich

Collection Spotlight: Neurodiversity

We’re excited to present our new Collection Spotlight focused on Neurodiversity. Whether you’re an experienced educator or new to teaching, these books offer valuable insights, research, and strategies to support neurodivergent students in the classroom.

Many of the featured books are also included in our Neurodiversity booklist, which covers a range of topics, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and diverse ways of learning and thinking. In addition to professional resources, the collection includes picture books and young adult fiction that highlight neurodivergent experiences through storytelling. These resources aim to help educators foster inclusive, supportive, and strengths-based learning environments.

📍 Visit our Collection Spotlight in person! You’ll find it on the main level breezeway of the UBC Education Library in the Scarfe Building.

National Film Board – “Sorry this content is not available to view in your current location.”

When trying to access National Film Board (NFB) films users may see a “Sorry this content is not available to view in your current location.” error when trying to watch the film.

eResources is investigating and working on a long term solution

As a short-term workaround, you might be able to watch the film if you navigate to the main NFB website – https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ubc.ca?url=https://www.nfb.ca – and then search for the film, click on it, and select Watch Now. The key to this solution working is that you close your other NFB open tabs and that to pause and restart the film you re-navigate back through the main NFB website. There is an issue happening with our authentication software and this process ‘tricks’ it into working.

Statista – loss of access

UBC Library has lost access to subscribed materials (reports, insights surveys) on Statista.

We are investigating and working on restoring our access. We apologize for the inconvenience.
