What are licensed resources?

Licensed Resources at the UBC Library


UBC Library purchases electronic resources for the use of UBC Students, Staff, & Faculty.

These resources are part of our digital library, our library without walls. You may access these anywhere on campus.

(If you are off-campus, please use the University’s Virtual Private Network).

You access these using a web browser but they are not part of the web; they are resources selected and subscribed by the Library for the UBC community of scholars.
Please do comment on the resources! Will these be helpful for the Ritsumeiken students?
