Persistent Links

General Information

Seneca Libraries offers access to a large virtual library (17,000+ full-text online periodicals, 11,000+ full-text online books) much of it available online via the Internet. Many information vendors now offer ways to integrate their resources into courses. Although copying for class distribution is occasionally allowed (ask the Copyright Technician, copyright_technician@senecac.on.ca or x7527), sharing files through email is generally forbidden. Sharing hyper links to download the files, however, is permitted and is encouraged. These manuals will provide you with the necessary information to use these features.
