Reference services by appointment

Do you have complex research to carry out and don't know how to go about it? Do you need help formulating your research strategy? You can always call upon reference services by appointment, provided by Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ).

By doing so, you can take advantage of personalized service and benefit from the expertise of a librarian who can help you-first, to precisely define your needs, and then to carry out research, guiding you among the various sources available.

Professional librarians specializing in the Centre québécois de ressources en littérature pour la jeunesse (CQRLJ) (the children's literature resource centre, in French only), the National collection and the National music collection provide this service for all, but especially for researchers and students. This service is available on-site and by telephone.
