The Leddy Library has a new website

The old Leddy Library website has served us well since 2005, but it's due for an upgrade. Over the summer the Leddy Library Web Team will be rolling out stages of our new site.  It has a new address: http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/

Most of the content from our old site can found here with the notable exception of our research guides. These will be updated and added over the course of the summer by our librarians.
