Services for Graduate Students
In addition to the collections and services offered to all patrons, the University Libraries offer many resources of special interest to graduate students.
Graduate Study Carrels & Lockers
Graduate students may apply for a private study carrel in Carlson Library. There are a limited number of study carrels, so there may be a waiting list. There is a $70 refundable key deposit for Graduate Study Carrels; apply for a carrel in Microform & Multimedia (third floor). Alternatively, you may sign up for one of the many lockers located in Carlson Library; go to the Dean of Libraries office to sign up (near the doors from Carlson Library to the Student Union).
Individual Instruction Appointments
Though available to everyone, personal appointments are especially useful for graduate students beginning their research. Schedule a time with a knowledgeable librarian to help you learn what tools and databases are available in your subject.
On Main Campus - Contact Kathy Hall, Kathy.Hall@utoledo.edu, or call (419) 530-4479 to make an appointment.
On the Health Science Campus - Contact Maria Melssen, Maria.Melssen@utoledo.edu, or call (419) 383-4214 to make an appointment.
Are you a Teaching Assistant?
We can help teach your classes how to use the library, too! We have classrooms in the Carlson Library (some with hands-on computer labs), or we can come to your classroom or lab. See the Faculty Services page for more details..
Theses, Projects & Dissertations
You may choose to submit your thesis, project, or dissertation electronically. It will be added to the OhioLINK Electronic Thesis & Dissertation (ETD) Center for access to anyone via the Internet. Also, you will have to submit only one printed copy of your thesis, dissertation, or project for the Library Archives. Health Science Campus graduate programs are required to use the ETD.
