September 16-22, 2019 is Canada’s National Science Literacy Week.  The theme this year is “oceans”.

In preparation for a number of the 2019 Science Literacy Week activities and events to be hosted by the UVic Libraries, a digital scroll of book covers from new science titles acquired by the Librairies, focusing on some aspect of the oceans, has been prepared for display, during Science Literacy Week, on the Libraries digital monitors. For an advance peek at these new “ocean” themed science titles, take a look at https://libguides.uvic.ca/2019SciLitWeekScrolls.

About the SciLitWeek Theme of “oceans”, from: http://www.scienceliteracy.ca/about/

In 2019, we’re partnering with ocean groups across Canada to bring together the largest ocean engagement and outreach event. Our nation has a special relationship with the sea, bordering three separate oceans—and so the Week will highlight ocean research, ocean health, challenges facing ocean communities and wildlife and solutions we can all implement at home. Whether you attend a talk, take part in a shoreline cleanup, get out on the water or just pick up a book, we’re hoping to make the oceans come to life for Canadians everywhere.
