Welcome to the Collaboratory!
The Ryerson University Library Collaboratory is a space and interdisciplinary research hub on the 3rd floor of the Library, accessible via the SLC. The Collaboratory provides graduate students, faculty and their research teams with space and technology resources to facilitate research and course development. We accept registrations from faculty members, graduate students, and research teams (working under a faculty member), to use this community workspace. Accessing the Collaboratory: Unless an event is marked Private, members are welcome to access the space for quiet work at these times. Unless noted below, all other dates and time are open to members for regular use of Collaboratory space.
For Faculty
Individual faculty are free to explore the Collaboratory in whatever area they are interested in, whether to learn about new equipment or peruse their own research. Our goal is to lower the barrier for access to equipment for faculty. Fill out this form to verify faculty/instructor status and for requesting door access.
For Research Teams
Researchers who have a project team or would like dedicated space work can apply with a research project. Faculty whose research assistants need space to work or access to technology are welcome to register using this form, and will be contacted with progress.

The Real World of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
June 18, 2019 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Skynet. Job stealing robots. Killer robots! The new electricity. More profound than fire!
What was the first thing that came to mind when you read “artificial intelligence” in the title of this talk? AI is very contentious.
Let’s break through the hype and the misconceptions.
Let’s talk about what artificial intelligence *really* is, how it affects your daily life (at home and at work), and the issues and opportunities that make AI such an important (and controversial) technology for libraries.
