What is Library Search?

Library Search provides access to library collections in print and digital formats including books, articles, videos, maps, government documents, music, data sets, and more. You can also discover materials that are not available at U of T but that you can request for free through interlibrary loan.

When to use Library Search?

Use Library Search when you want to find:

• Background information 
• Several articles to get started
• An exact book or article by title
• Various formats (e.g. books and newspapers)
• Sources on an interdisciplinary topic 
• Local and/or unique resources

If you find it difficult to narrow your results, consider using a subject-specific database or see what is recommended in one of the many Research Guides.
