Electronic Resources

Most online resources are available to UBC faculty, staff and students both on and off campus. Authentication may require using your UBCcard or CWL. License agreements with database vendors require that remote users are always authenticated. See Accessing Electronic Resources for information.

Hospital staff should refer to this Services at UBC Teaching Hospitals first.

Assistance

Reference assistance and Library workshops and training sessions are available free of charge. If you have a particular research need, you may wish to contact the appropriate subject librarian directly.
