About the Library
Like Innis College itself, you’ll find the library is a friendly, supportive space. We like to say that we are “small but mighty,” with personalized help for every research need.
We are here to help you achieve academic success
We are open to all U of T students, staff, and faculty, but the focus of our collections, our research support and resources, and our study spaces, is on the following groups:
- Undergraduate Faculty of Arts & Science students
- Students enrolled in the following academic programs: Cinema Studies Institute (graduate and undergraduate), Writing & Rhetoric, First-Year Foundations (FYF) Seminars, and Innis One: Storytelling and Society
- Alumni: Innis and academic program alumni can use print materials while in the library and borrow items with an alumni card
The Innis College Library is also open to external researchers, international visitors, and members of the public.

A quiet space to study and work
The library is a dedicated quiet study space, with floating platforms that hold study carrels and tables. The carrels on the top level are prioritized for Cinema Studies graduate students, but undergrad students are welcome to use these spaces if they’re not occupied.
Feel free to use the computer lab in the library – you can send files to the printer/scanner/copier station located just outside the library doors.
Please see U of T’s Library Conduct Regulations.
