The primary goal of the award-winning Campus Library, located at the north end of campus, is to provide you with quality information services that assist you with researching and preparing essay papers. The library offers both wired and wireless environments with comfortable study spaces and a reading room, complete with a fireplace.
Resources are provided in both paper and electronic format and you can search for materials at
www.durhamcollege.ca/library. Through the catalogue, you can find audiovisuals (housed in Media Services), books and reserves. You can also borrow books and reserve items at the circulation desk by presenting your campus identification card. Campus Library privileges must be renewed each year via the renewal of your campus identification card.|
Electronic resources, including e-books, electronic periodicals (e.g. journals, magazines and newspapers) and recommended websites are also made available through the Campus Library's website and can be accessed both on and off campus by logging in using a valid campus ID number and password.
