UTSC librarians and staff have compiled a list of books and resources that celebrate Indigenous voices, educate on Indigenous history in Canada, and provide resources for standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples.
The UTSC Library remains committed to fostering spaces of collaboration, sharing, and respect while providing research support and connections to Indigenous resources and knowledge.
What do I need to enter the library? Do I need to show my TCard and UCheck? Do I need to book a seat? - UTSC student newbie, second year
Dear newbie,
U of T students can just walk in! No need to book a seat or show UCheck and TCard at the desk anymore. Best to have your TCard on you, though--you can be asked for it while on campus.
Yours truly,

For Pride Month, UTSC Library presents this selection of materials about a variety of people, places, times, and topics. Some are available at UTSC Library, some online, and some at other U of T libraries. We encourage you to search our library to find more resources on topics of interest.
Dear Scarby, Help! I have so many assignments this semester and I don’t how to keep on track with them all! - Buried in Assignments, 3rd year
Dear Buried, I know keeping track of all your assignments can be difficult, but don’t worry because I have a great tool that can help you. Allow me to introduce you to my little friend called the Assignment Planner! I think you two would be a perfect match. It breaks down all the different steps of your assignments for you and then gives you a time plan that you can follow. All you have to do is enter the dates you want to start and finish your assignment and what kind of assignment it is and voila!, you get a detailed plan that will help you keep track of your assignment!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
Dear Scarby, Working at the library looks like fun! I'd really like to spend time hanging out with you and the librarians, and helping other students find their way around the library. Do you have any openings right now? - Friendly Bookworm, 2nd year
Hi Friendly,
The library is a great place to work for sure! If you dream of being a part-time "SHHH-er" you could apply to become a Student Library Assistant (SLA). SLAs provide service to library patrons (for example by helping them find library materials and use library equipment), they help maintain the library collection, and many other tasks. Check the website for job openings and for info on how to be a volunteer Library Society Ambassador. You can find work study and other campus jobs on CLNx.
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
