APS112: Engineering Strategies & Practice

Doing research is hard! But you can get help!

Finding information for your assignments can be hard! Sometimes you have to try many different words or combinations of words to find what you want. Sometimes you have to search using databases you are unfamiliar with. If you are struggling to find information, or have spent more than 10 minutes trying to find a particular piece of information ask the library staff for help! The Engineering & Computer Science Library staff know about your assignment and are happy to help you find the information you need!

Four options for getting help are listed below:

Getting help at the Reference Desk

Visit the Engineering & Computer Science Library (10 King's College Road, Sandford Fleming Building, 2nd floor) and chat with one of our reference desk staff. (Please note that the Reference Desk is close on weekends, so plan ahead when working on assignments!)

Hours for the service can be found in the link below: 

Getting help through email

Email your question to the Engineering & Computer Science Library reference staff at engineering.library@utoronto.ca. Response times are usually within 1-2 business days. In your email mention that this is a question for "APS112" or "ESP" to help staff answer your question quicker. (This email is not answered on weekends, so plan accordingly for your assignments!)

email: engineering.library@utoronto.ca

Ask a Librarian Chat

This chat is not staffed by engineering librarians but by librarians from all across the University of Toronto. Staff here may be able to help you find some of the information you need but may not be able to assist you will all of your design questions. For the more tricky engineering design questions please use the Reference Desk or email above. (Please note that Ask Chat with a Librarian is closed on weekends, so plan ahead when working on assignments!)
