A Passport York account provides access to online library services and resources both on campus and remotely. To apply for an account, please contact Mark Hamilton, assistant to the Associate Dean at 416-736-5598 or associatedean@osgoode.yorku.ca.
Access to library workstations
An Acadlabs account is required for access to the workstations in the library (excluding ones with access to the library catalogue only). If you have a Passport York account, you can obtain an Acadlabs account here.
Placing Materials On Reserve
If there are any library books or documents which you have identified as required for reading for your class and which you think may be in high demand by your students, the library can easily put them into our Reserve (short-term loan) collection. Reserve books are kept behind the circulation desk and can only be borrowed by students for three hours or overnight. To have books put on Reserve for your students, please email the circulation department at lawcirc@osgoode.yorku.ca or by phone at 416-736-5206 or by fax at 416-736-5298. You may also fill out the attached form and return it by email or fax - Request Form .
Recommendations for Purchase
Similarly, if there are any books you have identified as recommended reading for your students but which we do not have in the Osgoode library, we will gladly purchase a copy for the collection. Again, just send an email to the circulation department lawcirc@osgoode.yorku.ca requesting the purchase. We will reply to you promptly also confirm with you when the book is received.
