Library Subject Guides list resources in various formats on specific topics available in print and/or online. They are intended to help "jump-start" your research, so you spend less time searching.
Library Pathfinder helps you find your way around the library and its resources.
Tutorials help you learn something new in 5 minutes and in 5 easy steps! They are provided in PDF documents or Flash.
New guides and pathfinders are being developed on a regular basis. If you require further assistance researching in the library, please call 905-653-READ (7323) or visit your local branch to speak with a Librarian, or submit a question online using our Email Librarian service.
