INRS libraries offer a place where you can work and study. They also have more than 50,000 items available for you to borrow. Referred to collectively as the Specialized Documentation and Information Department (SDIS), the libraries serve the INRS community and certain affiliated partners, such as the Canadian Geological Survey.
SDIS has circulation and service desks at the Eau Terre Environnement Research Centre in Quebec City, the Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie Research Centre in Laval, and the Urbanisation Culture Société Research Centre in Montreal and Quebec City.
Students, faculty, alumni, staff, and patrons from other universities in Quebec (through an arrangement with BCI [Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire]) can check materials out. Certain external patrons can borrow materials in specific circumstances and by special arrangement.
A wealth of resources and services
SDIS ensures the accessibility, availability, and efficient use of information and documentation, to support instruction, research, and creation in the various INRS entities and their areas of practice.
Library users have access to all these resources and services:
- Université du Québec network interlibrary loans Sofia
- Help with depositing documents in Espace INRS
- Thesis and dissertation guides
- Databases
- Bibliography software
- Online tools
