For up-to-date hours and holiday closing information, please check the Woodward Library website.

The Woodward Library, originally the Biomedical Branch Library, was first established in 1952. The Woodward Library itself was built and opened in 1964, and has been expanded and refurbished several times since, including creation of a consortium, called the UBC Life Sciences Libraries, that also includes the Biomedical Branch Library, Eric Hamber Library, and St Paul's Hospital Library.

The University of British Columbia's digital repository, cIRcle is an open access initiative created by the UBC community. It is designed to showcase and preserve the university's intellectual work while keeping it freely available to anyone on the web. For more information, please read the "Getting Started with cIRcle" webpage.
