This is for research staff at UHT who:

Terms and conditions for access to the U of T Online Library resource
Online library access, provided by the University of Toronto Library, will be used for the exclusive purpose of supporting U of T faculty member(s) in their research. It is understood that U of T library online library access cannot be used in the support of any other responsibilities or duties that the same faculty member may hold at the Hospital (e.g. patient care or administrative roles for the Hospital). Support for such activities can be accessed through the hospital’s library.
U of T reserves the right to deny and/or suspend access if users are found to be in violation of the stated terms and conditions.
In the past, research staff were granted library cards, this has changed. The University of Toronto Library now provides hospital research staff (who support the research of doctors who have a faculty appointment at UofT), a new login credential, the UTORid, or they will set up a UTORid and send you the activation information. [Please note they are no longer using library barcodes for access to the databases.]
This remote access cannot be used for any other duties with which the individual may be involved. If research staff require hard copies of UofT library material they can request them through the St. Michael’s Hospital library hslibrary@smh.ca phone: x5059.
FYI: We do not update U of T Library cards for physicians. We are responsible for updating the list for research staff only.
If you are a Postdoc, please go to the following link to obtain / renew your access:
