Bata Library and the Durham Campus Library & Learning Centre will be providing limited support and access during the provincial lockdown. For detailed information on Library Services available during this period, please see our news story. Please note the Library & Archives will re-open for virtual services only on January 4, 2021

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.
