If the Library doesn’t have the articles or books that you need, you may request them through InterLibrary Loan (ILL) or email me the suggestion. We may be able to purchase a copy for the Library.

Geography studies physical environments and human habitats. It deals with people and places and covers a wide range of issues, such as global warming and climate change, food and water resources, management of ecosystems, human health, regional economic disparities, urban infrastructure, native land claims, and permafrost problems. You can browse the shelves using the following classification numbers. Note that a significant part of the Library's collection is in electronic format.
