Most libraries in the public, post-secondary education, school and special library sectors have this system installed. Several staff of these libraries have been trained. These databases include the full-text of approximately 2,000 popular magazines on academic, business and health topics. In addition, several thousand more magazines, newspapers and journals are indexed, often with abstracts available. These periodicals can be searched easily by library staff or the public, using keywords.
Advanced searchers can use various fields and boolean search techniques to meet specific needs.
To access these databases, visit your local library. Special libraries and some large school division libraries contributed to extend the range of databases available to all Saskatchewan libraries. The University of Regina Library administers the contract and the University of Saskatchewan Library is using their server to provide access for some of the databases. The CBCA General Reference database indexes about 600 Canadian popular magazines and academic journals. About 160 of these are full-text.
