Given the increasing number of Covid cases and hospitalizations in Toronto, we have made the difficult decision to put our curbside pickup service on hiatus at Graham Library from April 23rd until May 10th. During this time we will be monitoring public health guidelines to determine when to relaunch this service. We will fulfill requests we have received up until this point during our regular curbside hours this week Tuesday April 20 Thursday, April 22 10 am 4 pm. -We are ...still available for research assistance virtually. The U of T Libraries Emergency Hathi Trust agreement to provide electronic books for much of our collection published before 2004 is still in place. If you are having trouble finding a title in the UTL Catalogue, or it is not available electronically, we can help you find alternatives. Our email address is [email protected] -You can still return books to our book drop. Stay safe everyone and we hope to see you again sooner rather than later.

Have you had a chance to use the University of Toronto Libraries' new LibrarySearch to find resources in our catalogue? As with anything new, there can be a period of adjustment. That's why UTL has assembled a list of known issues users may encounter with LibrarySearch (https://onesearch.library.utoronto.ca/librarysearch-known-i). We are still closed to the public, but staff at the Graham Library are able to help with any other question you may have. Just send us an e-mail at [email protected].
