The directory offers complete and comprehensive information on Canadian libraries, resource centres, business information centres, professional associations, regional library systems, archives, library schools and library technical programs.

Libraries Canada includes important features of each library and service, including library information; personnel details, including contact names and e-mail addresses; collection information; services available to users; acquisitions budgets; and computers and automated systems.

Useful information on each library’s electronic access is also included, such as Internet browser, connectivity and public Internet/CD-ROM/subscription database access.

The directory also provides powerful indexes for subject, location, personal name and Web site/e-mail to assist researchers with locating the crucial information they need.

Accessing Libraries Canada

Available via Grey House Publishing Canada’s CIRC interface, users can focus their research by choosing one or more databases to search from. Researchers can then choose to perform an Expert or Quick search to access the information they need quickly and easily.

Cross-database search – all 6 directory sources can be seamlessly searched at the same time, separately or in any combination.

Downloading capabilities – option to generate contact lists by exporting records into spreadsheets or mailing labels in MSWORD, CSV or Text format.

Monthly Updates – the database is updated monthly to ensure that all information and records are current and accurate.

Designed for both novice and advanced researchers – researchers can conduct a Quick search with fields common to all six databases, or build a complex Boolean search using Expert search.
