Find Books and eBooks: 

You'll need to use "Source Type" and "Limit to /Exclude" filters on the left side of the search result screen.

Source type filter, click show more to see more source type; Limit to / Exclude filter, In library will filter to Physical items in the library.

To find eBooks: select "Books" under "Source Type" and "Available Online" under "Limit to / Exclude".

Find Trade Publication Articles

Find Trade Publication Articles

Unfortunately trade article is not a separate source type in Page 1+ Library Search. However, you can:

  • Click on the top link "EBSCO Search" to find additional sources. In the search result page, select "Trade Publication" under "Source Type". 
  • Click on the top link "Canadian Sources +" to find more Canadian sources. In the search result page, select "Trade Journals" under "Source Type".

A workaround in Page 1+ Library Search is to select "Articles" under Source Type, then Exclude "Peer review journals" (see below). It will filter out most academic articles (though some do manage to slip through) and leave you mainly with trade and magazine articles.

Find Additional Canadian Sources and More

  • Click on the top link "Canadian Sources +" to find more sources from Canadian newspapers and journals. 
  • Click on the top link "EBSCO Search" to find additional sources that may NOT be included in the Page 1+ Library Search.
