The Catalogue

The catalogue is your primary tool for finding:

  • Books (in print and online)
  • Official publications
  • Reference works (dictionaries, encyclopedias)
  • Titles of journals (and not titles of articles from those journals)
  • Documents from the Archives
  • Videos (DVD’s and online)
  • Documents on microfilm

present in our print and online collections (from the J.N. Desmarais Library., but also from other campus libraries and resources centres).

The interface of the catalogue is available in French and in English.

The French titles are indexed in French and the English titles are indexed in English. Bilingual documents are indexed in both languages.

Under the advanced search tab, it is possible to add language filters, which will only retrieve documents in the language selected.

More on searching the Catalogue is available in Module 5 of the Research Skills Tutorial on D2L.
