From the article:

A sustainable and innovative form of transport is being introduced for the last construction phase of the new University Library (UB) in the University Quarter. From today until the end of the project in 2023, almost all the building materials will be transported by water. This is a major innovation in construction transport for both the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the City of Amsterdam, because a large-scale building project not located directly by a quayside is now being supplied by way of water.

From the article:

The University of Saskatchewan Library (USask), Saskatoon, recently wrapped up its inaugural Indigenous Storyteller-in-Residence program. The pilot project appointed Lindsay “Eekwol” Knight, an award-winning hip-hop artist and PhD student at the USask Department of Indigenous Studies, to a six-week library residency; Knight presented and talked about her work, held virtual “coffee shops” where campus and community residents shared their stories, and incorporated parts of those conversations into a final project, still in progress. The pilot program is funded through donations to the university library.
