Memorial University Libraries  |  Marine Institute

The Marine Institute Library (Dr. C. R. Barrett Library) serves the faculty, staff and over 1000 students of the University's Fisheries and Marine Institute. The Library's evolving mandate also requires the provision of services to the marine industry in the province.

The Fisheries and Marine Institute is Canada’s most comprehensive centre for education, training, applied research and industrial support for the ocean industries. The Marine Institute provides more than 20 industry-driven programs ranging from technical certificates to graduate degrees. In addition to undergraduate and graduate degrees, the Institute offers advanced diplomas, diplomas of technology and technical certificates. The Institute also runs a variety of short courses and industrial response programs. The Institute has three Schools - the School of Fisheries, the School of Maritime Studies and the School of Ocean Technology - and within these Schools a number of specialized centres and units. These centres and units lead the Institute, both nationally and internationally, in applied research and technology transfer and in the provision of training to a variety of industry clients.
