Internal

Atlases, gazetteers and other cartographic reference materials are catalogued in The NEOS Libraries' Catalogue. Post-1994 monographic maps and new series in print or electronic format are catalogued in The NEOS Libraries' Catalogue. Some pre-1995 maps may also appear in the NEOS Libraries' Catalogue. The airphoto collection of over one million items is not included in this database.

A Canadian Geospatial discovery map interface to help you find data from university research - visually, spatially and quickly.

Access land-based vector data (water, cultural features, etc.), archived census geography, orthophotography, and more, available to the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and subscribing universities outside of Ontario.

Easy starting point to access data on the web, but as with any Google discovery tool sometimes there may be a better source for the data that is not shown in the results. The original repository will often have richer descriptions than what Google harvested.

Provides indexing, abstracting of and citation linking to journals in science, technology, medicine, and the social sciences.
