E-Library Services
Palliser Regional Library is proud to offer a collection of online services and resources. To access these resources, you may need your library card and a PIN. Your PIN was automatically assigned to you when you became a member of the library, and unless you have requested a change, it should be the last four digits of your phone number.
Online Catalogue
You can search for books and other items online. When you find an item you want, you can request the item and a hold will be put on it. You will be notified by telephone when your hold is ready to be picked up. You can also renew items online and check to see if you owe any fines.
Magazines and More
Magazines and More is our collection of online databases. We have over 30 databases filled with full text magazine and newspaper articles, and information on many topics, including business, literature, and health. There is also a separate collection of databases for teens and children.
If you are interested in a specific newspaper or magazine, try using Serials Solutions to find it. This database contains the titles of the over 6,900 journals that are available via our databases. Search for a title to find out which databases it is available from, and what issues are in full text. You can access Serial Solutions from inside the library using the above link, or access Serials Solutions from home using your library card and PIN.
