5 Things to Know About The Library – Online Edition

We are online for you (and always have been)!  

Did you know that the University of Alberta Library is the second largest research library in Canada, and a significant portion of our collection is available online? Current students, staff and faculty members can access thousands of eBooks, online journals and other electronic resources through the University of Alberta Library website using their CCID and password.

Your OneCard is your Library Card

You can use it to sign up for the L-Pass and have instant access to Edmonton Public Library’s online resources including eBooks, eAudiobooks, databases and more!

Search our collections online

You can search our entire electronic collection through the University of Alberta Library website.

  • Use the main search bar to look for eBooks* and journal titles* like The Lancet or Nature;
  • Click the “search for articles” button to find journal articles;
  • Click the“search for databases” button to find databases like PubMed and JSTOR.
    *Be sure to limit your search results to Online items

When using our online collection from home, use EZProxy for the best connection – all you need is your CCID and this helpful troubleshooting guide.

If you’re not sure where to begin, our team of expert librarians and public service assistants have created a number of subject guides with database suggestions, search tips and other resources to help get you started. There are even guides on finding newspapers, theses and streaming music and video resources. If you’re having difficulty wrapping your head around a citation style, visit our citation style guide.
