WELCOME TO THE LIBRARY!

Welcome to the Library! The James A. Gibson Library is happy to work with international students at our University, and we encourage you to make use of Library resources and services.  This page offers links to additional resources that may be of special interest to international students. 

Please note that library services are offered in English at Brock University, but we can offer you a warm welcome and a greeting in your own language if you would like to meet any of our friendly multilingual staff.
