Challenge Nova Scotia
NSCC Libraries is pleased to support Challenge Nova Scotia again! This year’s competition is Friday, Nov. 19 and is entirely online. An important requirement for this competition is ensuring the teams provide credit for ideas and works created by others (i.e. authors and photographers). This is called Academic Integrity and you can learn more by visiting the Academic Integrity Guide.
