Description

We subscribe to the Canadian Publishers Collection, a collection of over 3,000 non-fiction and reference books published by Canadian publishers. Only titles published in Canada for which the Canadian publisher holds electronic rights are included.

The collection is searchable by title, author, subject, publisher, and full text (see here for searching help). It can also be browsed by subject category - click on the "Browse" tab.

(Note that Trent does not subscribe to the Canadian Public Policy Collection or the Canadian Health Research Collection. All are products of Gibson Library Connections, Inc. - a Canadian company. The ebrary platform is used to provide access.)

All titles in this collection are also available through TOPCAT, with links to the online site.

Notes

These books use the ebrary platform for access. The ebrary reader software is needed to access them, and it is easily downloaded from the ebrary site.

Are you having trouble opening a book in this collection? The ebrary Reader software has been updated and you could be using the old version. This is the case with the campus computer labs. You may see one of the following screens: (click on the image to see it in full)
