This page sets out the services that the Bora Laskin Law Library provides to law firms, government departments and other eligible external institutional borrowers.
Access to the library and its print collection is open to all persons Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Access to certain electronic resources is limited to registered law students due to licensing restrictions. Only persons with valid U of T library cards may borrow material. Patrons without valid library cards who wish to read short-term loan material within the library must leave valid I.D. with the circulation desk when they borrow this material from behind the circulation desk. The I.D. will be returned when the material is returned to the desk
