Dear Scarby, Where can I donate old textbooks? - Generous Soul
Alumni
Dear Generous,
What a nice idea! The UTSC Library partners with a not-for-profit organization called Textbooks for Change by hosting a dropbox in the library. You can find this dropbox on the right-hand side of the Reading Room, which is directly behind the main Info Desk when you enter the library. Thanks for thinking of others!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
Dear Scarby, I am a fourth year student at UTSC and I was just wondering how much access alumni have to research materials provided by the U of T Library system? - Graduating Soon, 4th year
Dear Graduating,
Congrats on having come so far in your studies! There’s actually several ways alumni can continue to use the library. If you want to be able to borrow books, you can buy an alumni reader card or alumni research reader card at Reader Registration at Robarts Library. If you need to use an ebook or journal database, you could do that for free at one of the public computers: ask for a guest account at the Information and Reference Desk at UTSC, or at a LIRA terminal at a library on the St George campus. You can also buy a guest print card if you need to do some printing.
So glad I’ll still be seeing you around!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
