Where can I scan a document?

The Graham Library has three scanners: a flatbed scanner attached to the south most computer on the first floor, an overhead scanner immediately to the right of that computer, and a second overhead scanner located near the print station. A valid UTORid and password are required to access the flatbed scanner. A USB is required to use the overhead scanner. The second overhead scanner allows an email option – be sure to check your junk folder! – for documents. There are instructions available online for both the flatbed and overhead scanners. Scanning is free.

Where can I print?

From any seated computer in the library, or from your own laptop if connected wirelessly. Information about printing in the library can be found in the printing instructions.

How can I connect my laptop/smartphone to the internet?

The Graham Library no longer supports wired access. There are two wireless networks in the library:

  • U of T: This network is for U of T Faculty, staff, and students. Before using this network, you need to register your UTORid by using the verify tool even if your UTORid is working for other services.
  • Eduroam: This network is for members of other Eduroam affiliated institutions who wish to connect at U of T. You will need to configure the wireless using the information provided by your home institution.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide internet access for any other users.

Which network should I use?

If you are a U of T student, faculty or staff member use the U of T network. If you are affiliated with another institution, you may be able to use the Eduroam network.

I’m having troubles with my UTORid. Can I still use the library computers?

If you just need the catalogue, you can use the terminals upstairs, or the three standing terminals across from the Circulation Desk. The staff at the Circulation Desk should be able to make you a temporary login. It will allow you to sign on to the Graham Library computers for one day, but will not give you access to the wireless networks.

I’m not affiliated with U of T. Can I use the library computers/wireless?

If you just need the catalogue, you can use the terminals upstairs, or the three standing terminals across from the Circulation Desk. If you are affiliated with another institution, you may be able to use the Eduroam network.
