Graham Journal Service for Trinity & Wycliffe Students

The main contact is Adrienne Findley-Jones. Adrienne will be your contact for any requests and she will follow up with you on the progress of your request. Adrienne will be assisted by student staff at the Graham Library.  All of the staff at the Graham Library play a role in ensuring that articles and book sections are available and accessible on a timely basis. If you need research assistance, please email our Instructional and Theology Reference Librarian, Rebekah Bedard.

All conjoint and non-conjoint TST advanced and basic degree students at Trinity and Wycliffe Colleges, especially those in their thesis/dissertation writing phase, are eligible to use the service. Conjoint students must have a valid TCard, and non-conjoint must have a valid Graham Library card.  All interested students must register for the service by mailing Adrienne at infoexpress.grahamlibrary@utoronto.ca. Registration is open all year. Auditors are not eligible to use this service.

Information required for registration:  college, library ID number (TCard or Graham issued card) and preferred email address.

The service is free and unlimited.  Though rare, your request may involve a small cost to process from the lending library; if so, that cost will be passed onto you and payment will be needed before the article is sent to you.

Please send Graham Journal Service requests to Adrienne at infoexpress.grahamlibrary@utoronto.ca. Include as much citation information as possible to allow us to quickly identify the articles you require. Email ensures that we have a paper trail to track your request. When your email request is received, Graham Journal Service will send you an email confirmation.

We try to deliver requested articles to you within three business days. If an item cannot be delivered to you within three business days, we will notify you by email and continually update you on our efforts to retrieve the item.

We do not place a limit on the number of articles you can request.  When you send your requests to Graham Journal Service, we will deliver them to you as we receive them, rather than waiting to gather them all for a one-time delivery. Your email serves as your request ticket in the system.  Depending on the number of requests we have from other users of the service, we may have to limit the number of documents we can deliver to you in any one day.  We will provide you updates on our progress as we work through your list.  All files will be sent as PDFs unless requested otherwise.

All book essays, chapters, and journal articles will follow copyright provisions.  This means 1 chapter or 10%, whichever is greater.  This also means 1 article per journal issue and one essay per book (i.e., a request for 2 articles from the Journal of Biblical Interpretation vol 4 issue 3 will not be fulfilled: you will receive the first article requested).  Graham Journal will send you the item as an email attachment, which you can print yourself if you wish.

The Journal service is specifically for your research and writing needs.  Its intention is to provide you with the benefit of having your own RA.  Faculty have access to the InfoExpress service, which is for their research and writing needs.

Absolutely!  If the material you request is not available at any of the 44 U of T campus libraries, and you believe that the material would be an asset to the Graham Library, you may suggest a title for purchase.

As an instructor, you are eligible to use the Graham InfoExpress service for faculty during the term or academic year you are teaching.  Please indicate when you register what academic terms you are teaching. Once you are no longer an instructor, you will be eligible to continue in the Graham Journal Service.
