Library elevators: update

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Monique Flaccavento

Update:  As of 1:30pm Tuesday September 11th, the north elevator is working.  Thank you for your patience!

*************

Both of the library’s elevators are out of order.  Service calls have been placed.  Please advise library staff if you are unable to visit the other floors of the library in person due to an accessibility need and would like us to retrieve items for you.  We are pleased to assist.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

Book a study room

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Monique Flaccavento

Now that the Mezzanine Level of the Library has been renovated and the study rooms are GREAT, we know it’s sometimes hard to find an available room!  Especially if you’re not able to visit the library when we first open in the morning.

We’ve heard your suggestion to institute an online room booking system and we’ll have one in place in time for the first day of classes on September 10th.

Starting September 10th, study rooms will need to be booked online by clicking on the orange “Study Rooms” button prominently displayed on the new OISE Library homepage.

Rooms can be booked for up to 4 hours daily, up to two weeks in advance. 

Please remember that rooms on the Mezzanine Level are only available to current OISE students, staff, faculty, and OISE Alumni Readers.  Concourse Level rooms are available to all members of the University of Toronto community.

Additional information about OISE study rooms are available on our website:
