Charmaine Borden

Greetings,

I live, work, and play in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. I pay respect to the knowledge embedded in the Mi’kmaw custodians of these lands and waters, and to Elders, past, present and emerging.

Raised within Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, I am a white, neurodivergent, cisgender woman of European descent whose first language is English.

Through collaborative partnerships with faculty, students and staff, I co-design and co-deliver inclusive library services and resources that promote academic success. I contribute to the development of collections in areas such as Business and Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice, ensuring resources reflect both curriculum needs and community interests. I promote the development of core information literacy skills, including effective research strategies, critical evaluation of sources, documentation practices and the principles of academic integrity.
