Search Tips

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.
