end of summer session

Congratulations on surviving summer session - summer courses are tough as the deadlines are so short and the weather is so nice!

The final regularly scheduled Trent van delivering materials between Oshawa and Peterborough will be on Wednesday, July 28th. Items returned after that date will remain in Oshawa until the next van run, but will be backdated once they are received at Bata library.

This will be my final post as your 'Trent librarian' as you will have new library staff in the Thornton Road campus. I wish you all the best in the new academic year, the new campus and all new future adventures!

New library material delivery schedule

The van service that transports library materials between the Durham/UOIT library on the Oshawa campus and the Bata library on the Trent (Peterborough) campus is now running just two days a week: Monday and Wednesday. Please keep this in mind when planning your time for researching essay topics!

Time moves faster in summer session!

Deadlines seem to loom much quicker during summer session, so be sure to plan ahead!

Hint: there are only so many books in the library collection on any particular topic, so if you need to use books as part of your research, be sure to order them early.

summer schedule for material delivery

If you need to request items from Trent's Bata library in Peterborough (or send things back), you will be pleased to know that the delivery frequency is now five days a week (Mon-Fri afternoons).

To order items from Bata library, simply send an email to oshawarequest@trentu.ca, including your name, student number, item info and call number (if relevant).

If you have any questions or problems, please contact Trish (trish.johns-wilson@dc-uoit.ca) or Jacquie (oshawarequest@trentu.ca) for assistance.

Goodbye and have a great summer!

Well, you survived another exam period! Congratulations!

The next year will be an exciting one as you settle into the new campus on Thornton Road in Oshawa. This is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark on your own campus.

I will not be joining you in the new location. Instead, you will have a new library staff in your very own, 'just Trent' library!

If you are taking summer courses, then I will see you over the summer. If not, then I would like to wish you all the best in your academic and personal life! It has been a pleasure 'being your librarian'!
Cheers,
Trish
