The UT Libraries are making access to high quality research materials easier for students. Every Blackboard classroom now has a link in its menu to subject-specific LibGuides (library guides), providing students with an introduction to finding articles, e-Books, internet sources, textbooks, and more. LibGuides are available 24/7 from smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Instructors are invited to collaborate with a UT librarian to develop a LibGuide specifically for their class needs, otherwise students will be directed to a general subject guide, or to the University of Toledo LibGuides website. Contact a subject librarian to discuss possibilities.

The University of Toledo Libraries, along with our partners Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, are proud to announce the exhibit Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine. The exhibit, which was created by the National Library of Medicine, consists of six banners that explore the link between Harry Potter and the history of science. Visitors may view the exhibition at the Carlson Library on UT’s Main Campus from March 12 to 29 and at the Mulford Library on the Health Science Campus from April 3 to 20 during library hours.

In celebration of the exhibit the Carlson Library will host Lightning Strikes, a wicked-fun event for all ages on March 16, from 4-6pm. The event is free and open to the public and will feature Potter-themed games, activities, prize drawings and refreshments.
A lecture series, also open to the public, will be held on both the Main and Health Science campuses. These one-hour talks given by UT professors from the fields of medicine, law, literature and philosophy will discuss some of the themes found in the Harry Potter novels.
