The U of T Libraries (UTL) at Downsview is our environmentally controlled high-density storage and preservation facility. About 3.5 million items are stored here along with material from other Ontario university libraries as part of the Keep@Downsview service.
Our design and operational program are based on facilities at Harvard, Yale, and Ohio State Universities, as well as other universities in similar climates, with large research libraries.
The facility is not open to U of T members, or the public; however, materials may be requested and are delivered by daily courier to U of T campuses. Requests for items may be made by current students and faculty. Alumni borrowers and other users with library cards can also request items, however, members of the public are ineligible for this service.
