As of Tuesday, September 8, Bata Library and the Durham GTA Campus Library & Learning Centre will be open to current students, staff, and faculty. For detailed information about the re-opening of the libraries, please see our reopening announcement.

Trent University Library & Archives continues to offer electronic collections and virtual services. Please contact us at library@trentu.ca to access virtual services and supports. Check for updates regularly on our COVID-19 Alert Page.

Learning & Liaison Librarians

Located in Library Research Consultation Centre (BL 208), behind the living green wall of Bata Library.

Currently the LRCC is closed, until the campus is fully open, but we are actively working from home.

Each Academic Department at Trent has a Learning & Liaison Librarian assigned to represent it. Individual faculty members or departments may contact this person 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.
