The University Library collection consists of approximately 1,300,000 items including 594,000 monographs and serial volumes, 128,500 government documents, 566,000 microforms, and access to a significant collection of electronic information resources.

The main Circulation desk is on the entrance (second) floor. The reference, technical services and serials departments are on the third floor, government documents are located on the fourth floor, the archives, rare books and specials collections areas are on fifth, and the Reserve, music listening and slide collections are on the sixth floor. The open stack book collection is on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors. All Library functions are now automated using the TriUniversity Libraries' TRELLIS system. The catalogue module of this system gives access to a combined collection of more than six million equivalent volumes. It is accessible through workstations in the Library, from across the campus via the campus network and externally through the World Wide Web. The system also serves as a gateway to a large number of electronic databases.

Identification cards from an Ontario university are required for the borrowing of library materials. Library procedures and regulations are outlined in the publication Libinfo and on the Library's Web site. All students and faculty with Laurier ID cards have hands-on reciprocal borrowing privileges at other Ontario university libraries, and access to Interlibrary Loan services (inquire about restrictions for undergraduates). Electronic communication facilities link Wilfrid Laurier University with university libraries in North America and throughout the world.
