The Life Sciences collection is merging into the Schulich Library of Science and Engineering and the Main Education collection is moving to the 2nd floor of the McLennan Library Building. The collection moves are progressing well and we expect that the collection relocations will be completed in the upcoming weeks.

We will keep you updated on a regular basis on our progress.

If you have ANY questions or need a book right away, please contact any Librarian and they will work with you on sourcing the title.
