Five resources at UofGH's Library that you might not have known about

Many students at the University of Guelph-Humber know that our Library offers research help, quiet study spaces and the innovative Learning Lab, but the Library also offers many more helpful tools and resources that you might not know about.

As just one example, many UofGH students are unaware of the breadth of collections at their fingertips.

“Students have access to print and electronic resources through both the University of Guelph and Humber College, the University of Guelph-Humber print collection that is housed in the LRC and the print collections at the other Tri-University Group Libraries, Laurier and Waterloo,” said Nancy Birch, Department Head of Library Services.
