Library Services for Graduate Students
Webster Library Dissertation Writer's room - NOTE: Current graduate students have until September 30th to let the library know if they want to renew their lockers/shelves for another year. On October 5th any shelves or lockers that are freed up will be made available to new graduate students.
- Books checked out to shelves are checked out until September 30, but the Library reserves the right to remove any materials that have been recalled/requested by other users after an initial 2 week loan period (with the exception of items needed for Reserves, for which the initial 2 week loan period does not apply).
- Library books that you want to keep on a shelf must be checked out at the Circulation Desk. Any items assigned to the shelf will have a flag. Any items found on the shelf without a flag will be removed from the shelf by Library staff. Do not leave material borrowed on your student account on your assigned shelf.
Article Delivery - a service that will scan any journal articles that we only have available in print (at Vanier or Webster) and email you the PDF, this service can also be used to requests scans of chapters from our print books. The service always respects copyright limits.
