Geography

This subject guide offers resources on both human and physical geography.

Welcome to the Geography subject guide!

This subject guide recommends useful resources for research in both human geography and physical geography. Resources are categorized by the type of material. Use the tabs on the left menu to explore them. Feel free to email or book an appointment with me if you have a question. 

If the Library doesn’t have the articles or books that you need, you may request them through InterLibrary Loan (ILL) or email me the suggestion. We may be able to purchase a copy for the Library.

If you need to access McGill Library’s electronic resources, such as e-books, e-journals or article databases from off-campus, use either EZproxy or VPN.
