Our priority is to serve the Victoria University and University of Toronto communities including students, faculty and staff. However, members of the general public are also able to use the spaces and publicly available resources if there is little impact on this priority group.

In addition, however, during busy times, or due to non-compliance with our conduct regulations, we do reserve the right to ask general public members to come back at a less busy time or to leave the library.

While members of the public are welcome to use the library’s collections within the building, borrowing privileges are extended only to the current University of Toronto students, faculty, librarians, and staff who have a valid library card (TCard), and to the alumni of Victoria University.

Access to the computer workstations within the Information Commons, including printing and software, is restricted to the current U of T students, students, faculty, librarians, and staff. Please consult Library Services: Members of the Public for more information.

To create an optimal study and research environment for all library patrons, including external visitors, it is mandatory that every user of the Library familiarize themselves with and adhere to the University of Toronto Library Conduct Regulations. We reserve the right to ask anyone who does not adhere to these regulations to leave the library.
