Academic Electronic Resource Subscriptions at BC Public Libraries

 

This page may be of use when helping patrons who have academic reference questions but who do not have remote access to an academic library's electronic resources (e.g. alumni, users whose school's network is down, etc). Bear in mind that full-text access to scholarly materials will often be significantly less than at an academic library. For more resources for users without remote access to academic subcription-based resources, see the List of Free Databases.
