Information resources provided by the Wilfrid Laurier University library include approximately 1,500,000 books and journals in hard copy or microform, and access to a significant collection of electronic reference tools and full text electronic journal information <http://www.tug-libraries.on.ca/ejournals/>. With two exceptions, the entire hard copy collection is open stack. Public computer workstations offer access to electronic resources from within the library. Remote access is available through the library's web page <http://www.wlu.ca/academic/library.shtml/>. In addition, the library is a member of the TriUniversity Group of Libraries (University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University), and can therefore offer access to a combined information collection in excess of 6,000,000 items, with twice daily document delivery throughout the TUG system.

Public service desks are located on the second (main), third and fourth floors of the library building. The library is open 97.5 hours weekly, with extended hours for several weeks before examinations each semester. Reference service is available 63.5 hours weekly. A directional guide to the building is posted on the main floor adjacent to the elevators.

Identification cards from an Ontario, Québec or COPPUL university are required to borrow library materials. Library procedures and regulations are outlined in the publication Libinfo and on the library's Web site. All students and faculty with a Laurier OneCard or university ID card, have hands-on reciprocal borrowing privileges at other Ontario, Québec and COPPUL libraries, and access to interlibrary loan services (enquire about restrictions for undergraduates). Electronic communication facilities link Laurier with university libraries throughout the world.
