Think Like a Scholar

How to Find Free and Open Access Scholarly Resources Online

Join the McLaughlin Library and the Guelph Public Library for a workshop designed to teach you about accessing open resources like scholars!

Over the past few decades, since the birth of the internet, the research outputs from universities, governments, and other organizations have become increasingly accessible to the general public.

There are now many routes for individuals to access the same information that professional researchers do. In this collaboration between the University of Guelph Library and Guelph Public Library, Librarians from each institution will explain how you can search and access this information for free. We will discuss databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed, full-text finders like Unpaywall, the copyright exceptions that allow article sharing, and the multitude of information resources that Guelph Public Library offers.
