The information and reference desk is at the front entrance of the library. At the desk during library hours staff will be present to help you find the information that you need. Staff will assist you with researching for an assignment or on a topic and with many other things.
Library reference staff can help you with:
- getting started on researching a topic or assignment, choosing resources or developing a search strategy
- searching the catalogue, databases, and research guides for the most useful information
- referrals to your liaison librarian or help centres like the Math and Statistics Learning Centre or the Writing Centre
