The University of Toronto Libraries is a network of 30 collections with over 15 million holdings, forming the largest academic library in Canada, and ranking third among research libraries in North America. With an average of 12,000 visits per day, and a rapidly expanding online information system, the collections meet the research, teaching and learning needs of scholars in an exceptionally broad range of disciplines. Serving researchers in Canada's largest university, across the country, and around the world, UTL is an internationally recognized cultural resource.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. Russia, whose area is 17 075 000 square kilometres, is the only country that is larger. However, Canada almost certainly has the largest surface area of freshwater of any country. The table below shows data for land and freshwater as calculated in 2001.
