UTM Library closed
The UTM Library has closed in accordance with the Ontario government's shutdown of all non-essential services to combat the spread of COVID-19.
We continue to support UTM students, faculty, and staff with online resources and services; please see below for details about how we can help during this disruption to our normal operations.
The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve rapidly, and changes to Library services are ongoing. Please continue to monitor this page for the most up-to-date information about Library spaces and services.
