Library Budget, Review, and Planning

Today's Hours: 8am - 10pm - All service hours

As the University works towards strategic transformation and financial sustainability, the library is undertaking a review of collections, services, and infrastructure. The purpose of this web page is to provide up-to-date information about our strategy, process, and decisions.

Throughout this process, we remain committed to our vision and core values, the University’s Strategic Plan, and our teaching and research mission. We have developed a number of budget planning principles to help guide our decision making.

The following pages provide specific information about impacts to library collections and services and are continually updated as we implement service adjustments:

If you have any questions about our strategy, process, and/or decisions, please contact Amanda Etches (Interim University Librarian) at ul@uoguelph.ca.

The library is committed to ensuring that members of our user community with disabilities have equal access to our services and resources and that their dignity and independence is always respected.
