Page 1+ is the Library’s central search platform, meaning it searches most of the Library resources and displays the results in one list. This saves you the time it would take to search through multiple digital resource collections to find the results you need.

Page 1+ is generally the best place to search. You can search most of the Library’s print and digital resources. This includes items in the Library Catalogue, as well as the digital resources to which the Library subscribes.

When to search directly in a digital resource collection

While most of the Library’s resources are accessible through Page 1+, some of our collections are either not included in Page 1+, or have features that are not available through Page 1+. If you know that you need a resource from one of these collections, it would be better to search directly in that digital resource collection.
