Our liaison librarians are connected with each faculty and department at Queen’s and work closely with faculty to ensure that the library’s services and collections support research and curriculum needs.

Queen’s University Library’s rich and deep collections are central to the academic enterprise. Students and faculty place a high value on the resources we provide to support their learning, teaching and research. From a collection of six volumes donated in 1840 and now housed in Special Collections, our physical holdings have grown to include over 2.36 million items.
