INTRODUCTION
The University of Toronto boasts 44 libraries and a combined collection of more
than 20 million items. The University of Toronto is also the home of Robarts
Library – the second largest library in North America and the largest library in
Canada. With such a vast amount of information available to students it is easy
to be intimidated, lost in the search for library resources and shy away from
accessing the different spaces available.
This guide is not intended to have every piece of information regarding a library
and its services. However, it is meant to be a starting point to introduce you to
the different libraries that exist and the basic services each provides. Robarts
Library and Gerstein Library are by far the most known spaces for study, but
each library has a different element that can enhance your study and research
abilities.
This guide is intended for undergraduate students and only touches the surface
of UofT’s research institutions. In addition to the information listed in this guide,
we encourage you to visit library websites for specific borrowing policies and
schedules, research support, the availability of new and exciting workshops and
the featured collections.
This guide is the first in a series that the University of Toronto Students’ Union
wishes to produce this year. We have heard feedback from students that
it is often difficult to navigate the numerous amount of services offered at an
institution as large as the University of Toronto. It is our hope that the guides we
are able to produce this year will make navigating the services at the University
of Toronto easier for students.
We would love to hear your feedback on this guide. It will help us in creating
additional guides in future. Please email vpinternal@utsu.ca and vpua@utsu.ca if
you have any suggestions, or want to get involved in creating additional guides.
Yours Truly,

GUIDELINES
1. ADDRESS | BUILDING | FLOOR OR ROOM: Some libraries will share
the same address as another library. For instance, Robarts Library hosts
numerous other libraries within its space. Other libraries may sometimes be
located within a building that fulfills other purposes, such as the Law Library
that also has facilities for classes.
2. PHONE | EMAIL: This is a generic phone and email contact. For larger
libraries, check online for the multitude of librarian and staff resources that
range from specific programs to IT help.
3. WEBSITE: Some websites utilize a generic utoronto.ca library website
format while other libraries may link to a faculty, college or independent
page. Websites also indicate any modifications in operating hours
4. HOURS OF OPERATION: The hours of operation indicate when the library
is open. These hours do not account for statutory holidays, the winter break
and summer hours. Check online for up-to-date and extended library hours
for exam seasons. Some services may not be offered during operation
hours since they may require professional librarian or technical support.
5. COLLECTION: Collections indicate the size, specialization and types of
collections available. Visit individual library’s websites for listings of featured
collections. Most libraries have catalogued their collections onto the central
library database.
6. SERVICES:This provides a basic overview of services at a specific library.
This is to indicate the extra pieces of information that might be appealing
to students, such as the availability of computer workstations and group
study spaces.
7. REFERENCE SERVICES: Reference Services indicate when professional
librarians are available to aid in searching and retrieving documents
8. RESTRICTED MATERIALS: Some documents are by request only or are
unable to borrow due to a fragileness or value of the item. The best example
is the Rare book Library.
9. FOOD SERVICES: Some libraries have food services in or around the
library. Most libraries do not have this provision.
GENERAL
SERVICES
USING CENTRAL LIBRARY SERVICES
www.onesearch.library.utoronto.ca
The University of Toronto has compiled the information of all its libraries into
one central website to make the search for resources simpler. Find links to
individual libraries, summaries of services, and a comprehensive search engine
for catalogues, e-resources and different collections,
T-CARD:
Your student card is your primary identification for accessing library services.
Additionally, for the majority of large libraries a T-Card is required for photocopying,
printing and micro-text printing. The T-card office is located on the second floor
of Robarts Library.
Hours of Operation:
Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 9am-5pm
Tues 9am-7pm
BORROWING:
Most libraries have similar borrowing policies. However, some libraries have
different collections with different demands, which warrant different loan periods,
availabilities, renewal policies and item limits. Check with the individual library on
their lending policies.
Generic loan privileges for undergraduate students:
Loan Period: 14 days
Renewals: 3 renewals, 14 days each
Item Limit: 50 items
EXAM REPOSITORIES:
The central library system collects old exams for reference. Currently, the central
repository carries the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, UTM and UTSC. Student
faculty associations also typically have past exams for student access.
RESEARCH CONSULTATION:
Book an appointment with a librarian to discuss research strategies. Use the
central library request system or contact individual libraries directly.

REQUESTING ITEMS TO ANOTHER LOCATION:

An item can be requested from another campus through the online catalogue.
Delivery takes up to five days.
From an institution unaffiliated with UofT (Interlibrary Loan, or ILL):
Students, staff and faculty can request books, journal articles and other materials
from worldwide institutions using the Interlibrary Loan Service (ILL). The library
will inform those who request this service if there is an associated fee, although
this service is typically free. Gerstein, OISE, Robarts, UTM and UTSC libraries
offer ILL.
WORKSHOPS:
www.resource.library.utoronto.ca/workshops
The central library website lists available workshops on research and library
strategies and software. Workshops can be searched by library. Students can

particular streams such as humanities or sciences.
IMPROVING
SERVICES
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARIES MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the University of Toronto Library is to foster the search for
knowledge and understanding in the University and the wider community.
To this end, we shall provide innovative services and comprehensive access
to information founded upon our developing resources as one of the leading
research libraries in the world.
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARIES STATEMENT OF SERVICE
VALUES:
We are responsive to our user communities
We listen and treat each other with respect
We are committed to delivery of services in a helpful and courteous manner
We are committed to providing accessible and reliable services which are
instructive, accurate and timely
We are committed to acquiring, organizing, preserving and enhancing the value
of our resources
We are committed to delivering information using the most effective
technologies available
We are committed to maintaining, with both the University and our users, a
clean, attractive and secure library environment
We are committed to working together as a team, sharing information and
expertise
We share a commitment to learning in order to enhance our capabilities to
provide good service
COPYRIGHT AND LIBRARY HOURS:
The University of Toronto Students’ Union sits on the University Library Committee
to ensure that students are represented and has a voice in the development of
the University’s library services.
This past year, the UTSU has been working with students, faculty and librarians to
oppose the increase in copyright fees imposed by the University Administrations’
unilateral decision to increase the student fee to Access Copyright. The fee
increased from $3.38 to $26.00 despite the lack of need to impose the fee.
A coalition of partners continue to fight the copyright fee as more Universities
across the country have decided to oppose the hike.
7
IMPROVING SERVICES
As the population of undergraduate students at all three campuses continues
to grow, so does the need for late night study space. The Students’ Union is
actively involved in lobbying efforts to secure additional extended hours for
multiple libraries during mid-term and exam periods. We are also lobbying to
increase the regular hours of operation for the Mississauga Campus library.
Want to get involved in improving our library services? Join the Academic
and Student Rights Commission and email vpua@utsu.ca.
FOOD ON CAMPUS:
The University of Toronto Students’ Union knows how difficult it can be to
balance cramming for a final and a mental/physical health. During mid-term
season and exam periods, the UTSU visits libraries with expanded hours of
operations to give out sandwiches, fruit, granola bars, coffee and tea to students
hard at work. Find us at Robarts Library after midnight and visit www.utsu.ca/
gotyou for locations and times.
RECOMMEND A TITLE:
Is UofT missing a book? Suggest a title that you think should be added to the
collection.
Found an older publication in the stacks that is not published in the collection?
Let the library know and they will add it.

The University of Toronto signed an agreement with
an organization called Access Copyright. The
agreement claims that it will protect the university
from being liable to infringement of the Copyright
Act. But Access Copyright is charging an extra
fee. The university has decided to sign up for
this “protection” without any consultations with
students, faculty or librarians of the university.
As of May 2012, students are being forced to
pay a $26 fee for Access Copyright. The weird
thing is that we used to pay $3.38 for the same
protection!

To make matters worse, the Supreme Court has
ruled that the use of copyrighted published
materials by students would not infringe the
Copyright Act. In other words, this “protection”
is already granted to us, just by virtue of being
students! There’s no need for a fee!
ALREADY
We need your help in telling the UofT
Administration that we shouldn’t have to pay for
academic materials that should be covered under
our tuition fees.
