Brief description

The TriUniversity Group of Libraries (TUG) is a unique example of administrative co-operation among the Libraries of three Ontario universities; the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo, and Wilfrid Laurier University. Informal co-operation among these three has been in place for nearly thirty years; however in the past decade, rapidly advancing technology has enabled co-operation at a completely different level, and the result has been a slightly more formalised agreement to work together for mutual benefit.
