Charmaine Borden

Greetings,

I live, work, and play in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which Mi’kmaq, Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

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.

If you have questions about the library or would like assistance, kindly contact me directly. I am available for in-person meetings, virtual appointments via Teams, or by email.
