The purpose of the Library FAQ guide is to answer the frequently asked questions about using the library, doing research and finding resources.
Use the menu on the left to browse through the questions under the broad headings for the all FAQs related to the Library, Research, French Sources, Online Resources, & Access/Login Help.
The questions were gathered from Champlain students over several years and the answers were generated by the librarians at the George Wallace Library.
Big thanks to our Winter 2016 Practicum Project student from the School of Information Studies graduate program at McGill University for her significant contribution to the completion of this FAQ project.
