  • Free resources are available to anyone, so these are one that you will be able to access after you graduate from Brock University. These are noted by an orange padlock icon 
  • Subscription-based resources are ones that are paid for by Brock University, and access is limited to current faculty, students, and staff. You will no longer have free access to these resources after you graduate from Brock University, but there are many options for accessing similar information sources.
