Learning & Liaison Librarians

During COVID

Learning & Liaison Librarians are working from home until January 30th, 2022, but they're still available to help you. Schedule a virtual research consultation with using Book-a-Librarian or from a Library Guide.

Who We Are

Each Academic Department at Trent has a Learning & Liaison Librarian assigned to represent it. There are four of us in total, and we work out of the Library Research Consultation Centre, at Bata Library.

Instructors or departments are invited to contact their L&L Librarian for:

General instructional services from the Library.
- Exception: requests for instruction / assistance in MaDGIC or Archives should go directly to those departments.
- Information on the types of instructional services offered is available on our Library Skills Instruction page.
Research assistance & group instruction.
Questions about library resources (physical and online), including course readings, and student/faculty access.
Advice or assistance with course assignments involving library research.

Contact Us

Email library@trentu.ca and your message will be directed to the appropriate contact and tracked to ensure you receive a quick response. Alternatively, use the list below to email your Learning & Liaison Librarian directly.

Courses in Durham may contact Durham Library for anything specific to Durham branch library services, and your Learning & Liaison Librarian for questions about resources.
