As part of a national consortium of libraries, the Library works to further the goal of expanding access to research through sustainable models. Our Library currently has 11 open access (OA) agreements with academic publishers that allow members of the University of Waterloo community to publish fee-free.  

Over the last several years the Library has been taking tangible steps to contribute to the reconciliation work happening at the University of Waterloo. Recent projects have included the creation of an Indigenous Research Guide and increasing our number of pre-approved smudging spaces in our libraries.
