Who We Are
Each Academic Department at Trent has a Learning & Liaison Librarian assigned to represent it. We work out of BL208, 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.
