During regular operating hours, the Dorothy H. Hoover Library is open to the general public and any print materials in the collection can be used on site during operating hours. Note that access to any internet-based electronic resources, databases, or online image collections is limited to current OCAD U students, staff, and faculty only.

If you want to sign out books as a visiting researcher, the following procedures apply:

  • Direct Borrowing for undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty members, and staff from all participating Canadian universities is available. With a valid university ID card and a valid piece of photo ID, direct borrowers can sign out up to 15 circulating books.
  • Special Membership is available for the general public for a cost of $100 for a 1 year membership.
  • OCAD U Alumni with proof of graduate status can apply for Special Membership at a discounted price of $50 for 1 year.
