At Westmount Campus, NEOS items can be returned directly to the library.

Some articles are not available in full-text. Some article databases merely "index" the article citation rather than supply the full PDF to the article. When this occurs you will see the Find it! Logo. When you open the find it logo, it tries to find the full text version of the article in another database that we subscribe to. To avoid this situation, select full-text only as part of your search strategy.

Search or browse the Find It! A-Z Journal List for NorQuest Library's full-text online journals.


Troubleshooting

Some databases encounter access problems when using older versions of Internet Explorer. We recommend using the current version of Internet Explorer or recent versions of Chrome or Firefox to access databases.

There are known issues when accessing some of the databases, eBooks and online video via the staff VPN Access(SSO). To work around this problem, open a separate browser window and paste in the address of the database or link you wish to access.
