Thompson Rivers University Library offers many subscription databases and online journals. Licensed materials can be used for research, instruction, and educational purposes, but not for commercial use. You can usually print or download articles for personal use and post links to journal articles on Moodle. We provide specific licensing information on our "more information" page for each database and collection on our Database A-Z list.
For questions or help with persistent links contact your subject librarian.
The Harvard Business Review (HBR) has especially restrictive licensing provisions, much more than fair dealing legislation. If you wish to direct your students to articles from Harvard Business Review, please contact your Subject Librarian for advice on associated copyright restrictions. You may not post PDFs from Harvard Business Review on Moodle at any time. The library also has a guide on how to use citations to locate articles.
OpenAthens will be our new authentication method for accessing the library's licensed resources, such as journals, e-books, streaming video, and databases. For more information, see our Connecting to Library Resources with OpenAthens guide.
If you’re embedding links to library resources in your Moodle courses or other materials, ensure they are compatible with OpenAthens. For links sourced from the Library's Discovery Service, you can revisit the resource and, starting May 5, regenerate the link. The updated link will automatically be OpenAthens-compatible. Alternatively, you can email your reading list, including existing links and bibliographic details, to library@tru.ca, and we’ll take care of it for you.
