With its debut in 1842, The Illustrated London News became the world’s first fully illustrated weekly newspaper, marking a revolution in journalism and news reporting.

On May 29-30th 2013 the University of Windsor played host to the International Symposium on Arab Youth: Developmental Pathways for Identity. The conference organizers, Julie Hakim-Larson and Rosanne Menna, have worked with the Leddy Library to help provide access to the posters and presentations from the event. The results are now starting to be made available in the Scholarship at UWindsor institutional repository and can be found at the link below. Take some time to take a look or even explore the contents from other departments on our campus.

You can now request a consultation with one of the liaison librarians of the Leddy Library who can discuss with your research problem at hand using our new Research Consultation Request form.

We can advise you on available information sources, search strategies and other related information topics related to research such as open access, data, and citation management.

A new feature on the library website is a browsable index of our electronic dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks which can be filtered by subject area. If you're looking for reference resources please take a look here for easy online access!

Leddy experiences a high theft rate during peak study periods like exams. This is when most students bring their laptops, and cell phones with them.

1. Please do not leave your stuff unattended

2. Study in pairs/groups with people you trust

3. Get some anti-theft protection for your laptop at:

DID YOU KNOW… Over 1 million students have come through our doors this year alone!

Who wants to study in a dirty and smelly environment? We sure wouldn’t and neither should you! When you come to Leddy to study, please be mindful of your neighbours – we ask that you follow these tips so that everyone who comes to study here can have a positive experience:

1. If you are bringing in a drink, please keep a lid on it

2. If you’d like to eat, please do so at William’s café

The Leddy Library does not accept bitcoin... but our UWin cash machine was refurbished on Friday and so we are now able to accept ALL new monies, loonies, toonies and the new 'plastic' bills.
