You have likely seen a headline on social media or received a link from a colleague. Many newspapers are now behind paywalls or only allow viewing a certain number of articles. There are ways around this, but in representing the library we want to ensure all licensing and copyright is respected.

• In the case of the Globe, the online license allows personal use but prohibits distribution. However, we can share/post links to the library database version within Fair Dealing guidelines.
• We do have full access to the Globe and thousands of other newspapers in our databases. CBCA, Canadian Major Dailies and NexisUni are great to check first!
• Often the online “digital” edition of a news article has a different title from the print and database version which can make it harder to find. Try searching just the source and author and a keyword.

Two recent examples:

Article title online: "When it comes to postsecondary and hiring, it’s a matter of degrees"

Click for a direct link to the Globe & Mail article.

Same article in SLC Database: "Rethinking the need for degrees in hiring: As companies deal with labour shortages, it’s time to take another look at postsecondary education requirements"

Find this by searching source, author and part of the title like “postsecondary” or “degrees”
