When patrons ask if the UofT Libraries have a book, it is very important to check or advise them to check for wanted titles in the e-Resources list (via the e-Resources icon at the bottom of the Gerstein web page) as well as in the catalogue.
UTL is acquiring a large selection of e-books from a variety of publishers and making them available as quickly as possible to patrons via the e-Resources icon at the bottom of the library web page. Loading the records for e-books into the catalogue is a time consuming process. This is similar to what happened when the library first acquired e-journals.
Thank you.

LIRA Kiosk for creating temporary accounts
The LIRA Kiosk located near Printing Station 1 is the new way for people to use our 5 open public computers.
These computers used to have no login at all, but now require the user to go to the Kiosk and obtain a temporary username and password.
Instructions on how to use the Kiosk are at the station.
Anyone with a valid Canadian or U.S. drivers licence, credit card or TCard may use the Kiosk.
Anyone without this ID may obtain a LIRA account from the reference side of the Information Desk.
This temporary account is active until 11pm of the day created. On following days the procedure is the same.
