The quest for information does not work in a vacuum. We need to be linked, connected to each other.

Students, professors, researchers, support staff all partake in the discovery of new data, new truths, new enlightenment each in their own way. The challenge is taking a broader look at how we connect, how our systems connect, and how our devices connect so that they are more person-centric and natural ways of reaching each other.

We are committed to partnering with faculties and services to expand and improve the quality of our services and tools in support of our Francophone community.
