FSCI 500 Science Communication and Outreach

McGill University is located in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) on unceded Kanien'kehá:ka traditional territory.

Welcome to the FSCI 500 Course Guide! This guide will help you find and evaluate academic and non-academic sources for your research.

If you have any questions about the library or finding resources feel free to contact me! N'oubliez pas que vous pouvez également obtenir de l'aide en français de la bibliothèque et de vos bibliothécaires de liaison.

More information is available on the Accessing online resources page.

McGill VPN

Set up a Virtual Private Network to McGill on all of your devices.

​EZProxy

EZproxy is a quick, easy, and convenient method to gain off-campus access to McGill Library subscription databases and other online resources. If you are off campus and try to access an electronic resource through the Library web site, Sofia Discovery tool, or through the "McGill Library Full Text" links in Google Scholar, you will be asked to log in before you can access the resource.

The EZProxy link can be added before URLs to bring up the McGill login prompt: https://proxy.library.mcgill.ca/login?url=
