Tip!
The library’s collections have various classification/organizational systems. For example older material is typically organized by subject headings AND the newer material (after 2011) is organized chronologically. Thus it is important to begin your search using the Library Catalogue to see where the material is located in the library.
Search the Library Catalogue and the Library databases together.
OneSearch is a great starting place to familiarize yourself with the library’s articles, books, theses, and journals.
Pressreader will give you access to international newspapers and magazines in more than 60 different languages. The newspapers are digital copies of the printed versions and are published at the same time as the printed ones. You have access to the last 90 days.
