Library

Mission

"We promote excellence at Carleton University by collecting, preserving and providing access to information resources and services for our teaching, learning, research, and administrative communities, wherever they are located."

Message from the University Librarian

Welcome to the new MacOdrum Library!  Consider this your portal to all the library’s resources – staff expertise, information resources such as ejournals and ebooks, links to our own catalogue and the catalogues of other libraries, library news and surveys, and ways to give us feedback.

In the last five years, we have been consolidating the library's position, working on key enablers such as technology, collections, staff expertise and resources in order to deliver the services you need. We now have a new strategic plan which will lead us to 2015 and beyond. We are entering a growth phase where we are designing expanded and renovated learning spaces; using emerging technologies to reach you on your mobile devices wherever you are; supporting your research efforts and opening up your research to the world; and working with library colleagues around the world to give you enhanced access to amazing collections.

So come to the library – in person or by this website – we are here to ensure your academic success.

Sincerely,

Margaret Haines
University Librarian
