This issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

A current technical issue is affecting access to McGill's e-books.

Taylor & Francis webpages are either saying that “you don’t seem to have access” or that “your institution has not purchased this content”.

We have alerted the publisher & apologize for any inconvenience. We will keep you updated. Thank you.

As of Wednesday, December 1, the McGill community can take advantage of a new, heated, outdoor area.

Heaters will be operational Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM (excluding holidays).
