We support your digital research and learning needs with over 170 computer workstations, located mainly on the first and second (main) floors of the Library. Access to all workstations is on a first-come, first-serve basis and most computer access is open to current students, faculty and staff only via their UTORid. Need help accessing your UTORid? Visit UTORid Account Management. Our workstations provide a wired internet connection, easy access to the Library's extensive collections of e-resources, and course-related applications and productivity suites including Microsoft Office.
