Ryerson University Library is the library of Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. The Ryerson Library collection consists of over 500,000 books, 3,700 print journal titles and over $2 million of electronic resources, including approximately 23,000 e-journals, e-books, databases and indexes, geospatial data, and catalogued websites or electronic documents. Most of the electronic resources can be accessed remotely by Ryerson community members with Internet access, although authentication of Ryerson Library registration is required for access to all commercial resources. The Library acquires materials to support the curriculum taught at the university and to support the research needs of faculty. All hard copy materials are housed in the Library building at Gould and Victoria Streets. The 11-storey tower was built in 1974, and is a classic example of Brutalist architecture. The library buildings also holds administrative office, the Nursing Collaborative, and until 2007, the Urban and Regional Planning program. Urban and Regional Planning vacated the building in 2007, leaving more space for the existing library. As part of the Ryerson University Master Plan, the Library is expected to either relocate or be the subject of extensive renovations in the next several years. On January 18, 2008, the university announced the acquisition of properties including the former site of Sam the Record Man, which will allow expansion of the library to a prime Yonge Street location. The new expansion will be designed by architectural firms Zeidler Partnership Architects of Toronto and Snøhetta of Oslo, Norway. In February of 2015, the library expansion opened its doors as the Student Learning Center (SLC). == Ronald D. Besse Information & Learning Commons == The Ronald D. Besse Information and Learning Commons, located on the main floor of the Ryerson University Library, provides access to a wide range of information resources with advanced technology and provides the expertise necessary to allow student, faculty and staff to successfully integrate information with technology in their academic pursuits. Established with a generous donation by Ronald D. Besse, the Commons provides learning support through a variety of services such as peer tutoring, classroom instruction, reference services and technology support. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ryerson University Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
