UHN Virtual Library: West Park

West Park's Resource & Learning Centre

UHN Library & Information Services is working to bring together library resources and services from both the UHN and West Park libraries. This page is where you can find the latest information on our steps towards library integration.

Please note, West Park staff, researchers and learners continue to have access to information resources via the Hub. See below under "databases" for instructions on accessing resources on-site and remotely. We are working towards enabling remote and onsite access to resources on the UHN Virtual Library for West Park users by Fall 2025. Questions about integration of library resources can be directed to Jessica.Babineau@uhn.ca (Director, Library & Information Services).

We acknowledge this sacred land on which the University Health Network operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and learn on this territory
