About SLAC >

The goals of SLAC are to:

  • Be a forum for students to give feedback to the library on service expectations.
  • Create a positive, inclusive and collaborative relationship between the student community and Humber Libraries.
  • Impart SLAC members with a greater understanding of research, collections, information literacy and library services.
  • Increase student awareness of the library by being ambassadors for their programs.
