Support services

Your accessibility needs are important to us! The OISE Library works with Library Accessibility Office at the University of Toronto Libraries to provide resources, support, and specialized services to those who need accomodation.  Please contact the University of Toronto Libraries Access Services to discuss how we can best support you.
