Welcome to CPET Library

Welcome to the library of Collège Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau and to our program of Information Literacy. We believe that every student should have the skills necessary to navigate in today's information-rich society. Determining information needs, recognizing and selecting appropriate resources - whether print or online and managing the information are fundamental skills needed for successful academic research.

Program Description

The Collège Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau Library offers students a quiet place to conduct research or study. We offer resources in French, English and in Spanish, fiction and non-fiction books. Reference materials include our print or online encyclopedias, newspapers (Wpg. Free Press, La Liberté and The Globe and Mail), current magazines, videos, DVDs, CDs and vertical files. Also, students have access to one of 17 computers for resource-based learning assignments. Further, students have access to our onsite photocopier.

The library’s goal is to provide access to a wide variety of current and appropriate information sources, and to ensure that teachers, staff and students are efficient and effective users of information.
