The Jean and Dorothy Newman Industrial Relations library collection covers all aspects of the employment relationship, human resource management, labour relations, and public labour policy. The collection dates back to the library's founding in 1967. In addition to print resources of books, journals, government and research reports, and labour union documents, we provide access to all the electronic resources of the University of Toronto Library system and the Internet. Computers in the Library, the Electronic Reading Room and Computer Lab provide CIR students with access to these resources.
Reference librarians are available to aid students with their research.
All CIR students and faculty have full access to the entire collection of the University as well as to our own specialized collection. Circulation of Materials Books and videos may be borrowed by U of T students, faculty, Centre alumni and Centre subscribers. Journals or books in high demand for U of T course assignments are not available for loan. The loan period is 1 week, with the possibility of telephone renewal if the item has not been requested by someone else. No reserve books or journals may be borrowed.
