Library Liaisons & Department Representatives

All of the University of Toledo librarians serve as liaisons to one or more colleges, departments, and/or programs.  They work together and with their constituent user groups to identify and retain scholarly resources that enhance the Libraries’ collections and support the curricular and research needs of the University community.  They welcome all purchase recommendations as well as the opportunity to discuss any collection issues.  Click here to view the current liaison list and corresponding contact information.

Donating Materials to the University Libraries

Due to the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget reduction, the University of Toledo Libraries is no longer able to accept books or other material donations for the general library collections. Potential donors can reach out to the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library for donations of books and other materials. Please check the TLCPL Website for additional information. Thank you.

Please note, the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections collects, preserves, and makes available for research primary source records that document the history of the University of Toledo, Toledo-based businesses with an emphasis on the glass industry, disability history, ethnic culture, medicine and health, gender and sexuality, and municipal government. For further information on how to donate to the Canaday Center, please refer to their donation page.
