As a part of the Teaching and Learning Month at Queen’s (May–June) Queen's University Library invites you to join a talk entitled “Special Connections: Enriching Student Learning with Library Collections & Collaborations”. The talk showcases how faculty and librarians work together to enhance students' teaching and learning experience by integrating library resources and expertise into the curriculum.

This collaborative experience was awarded the 2025 Queen's Principal’s Promoting Student Inquiry Award.
