The Laurentian University librarians and archivist are dedicated to helping you with your research.
Answers to the questions we are most frequently asked follow. If you can't find an answer to your question, contact your librarian or archivist.
Start at the Library & Archives home page. All of the links from Omni (our academic search tool), the databases, and the research guides lead through our proxy server, which proves to content providers that you are a member of the Laurentian University community.
Laurentian University offers several libraries and one archives:
The Architecture Library is in downtown Sudbury at 85 Elm Street (#28 on the campus map) (Google Maps)
The Archives are on the main campus at 935 Ramsey Lake Road, on the 1st floor of the J.N. Desmarais (#8 on the campus map) (Google Maps)
When the library is open, you can ask for reserve items at the service desk. To find items that have been placed on reserve, search the Course Reserves in Omni.
Faculty who want to add scanned items to their course in D2L can ask the library to scan articles from print journals or chapters of print books using the Request a digitized article/chapter/excerpt link in Omni for items held by the library, or the Request link in Omni for items not held by the library.
Faculty who teach on-campus courses can also ask to have print items placed on reserve.
