Library Cards & Facilities
Library cards are obtained at the Robarts library. Note that there is a separate card required if you also plan to use the inter-library loan facility (to get books from other universities).
The University Library system consists of more than 50 libraries containing more than 14 million volumes and is growing at a rate of about 200,000 volumes a year. The system is one of the ten largest in North America. There are over fifty libraries on campus in various areas of specialization with the majority of books held in a few main centres.
The Engineering Library is part of the University of Toronto Library, and provides a convenient source for texts and journals relevant to graduate work in this department. The Engineering library is located on the second floor of the Sandford Fleming Building (east side) facing King's College Road.
