about the Library people, administration, policies and plans |
The library delivers a wide range of services to those engaged in teaching and research at UG. Teachers include regular faculty, full-time or part-time instructors, and teaching assistants. Researchers include faculty, graduate students, and research staff.
There is a librarian assigned to every department, faculty or school at Guelph. Meet your librarian.
Reserve Desk
You can place any kind of material on course reserve through our online course reserve list manager. Electronic Reserve access can be provided for several kinds of reserve materials. All materials accepted for reserve must be in compliance with copyright regulations. For more information, contact the Reserve desk at libres2@uoguelph.ca or ext. 53621.
Information Literacy Program
Your department's librarian is available to teach your students where to find the best sources and how to use them through classes tailored to your course and/or assignment. We can come to your classroom, meet your students in a library classroom, produce an online tutorial that your students can complete on their own, or some combination of the above. Our Research Help desk and online chat help provide support and follow-up for your students when doing their assignments. For more information, visit the Information Literacy Program site or contact your librarian.

We provide access to many current awareness services you can use easily to stay up to date with research in your field or to receive tables of contents from new journal issues.
RefWorks is a bibliographic management service that will collect, store
and organize citations you have saved through journal indexes, the library
catalogue, or elsewhere. RefWorks creates correctly formatted bibliographies
and manuscripts automatically to the format you specify. To learn more or
