We’re excited to share a new brand, celebrating the Library’s position as a partner in the learning and research that happens at Waterloo. 

The Library is at the heart of the University; it provides access to distinctive collections, services and resources to everyone in the campus community and beyond.  

There are several new pre-approved smudging locations in our main campus library locations, expanding the smudge-friendly spaces available at the Library. These spaces have been selected to cover a range of locations, circumstances and library users.   

In March 2024 the Library launched a user survey, asking members of the University of Waterloo community to share their feedback on how satisfied they are with the services, resources and expertise provided by the Library, and which ones are most important to reaching their goals.  

Key stakeholders, including the Library, the Office of Research, and representatives that participate in a Bibliometrics Working Group (BWG), have come together to support the implementation of Open Researcher and Contributor Identifiers (ORCID) across the University, starting with a two-year pilot project to explore how a campus-wide approach could support researchers.
