The University’s collection of books, journals, documents, maps, microforms, films, video and audio materials is administered in the McLaughlin Library building, located in the centre of the campus, and in a branch in the Ontario Veterinary College. The collection consists of more than 2.l million equivalent volumes and is increasing at the rate of 50-60,000 per year. The majority of our collection of approximately 14,000 journal titles is available electronically. In addition, the Library has over 12,000 audio-visual holdings and over 70,000 maps. Access to these materials and the collections the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University is available through the TRELLIS system.
