About Canada Commons

Canada Commons includes an extensive collection of Canadian materials, including:

• 25,000 eBooks from scholarly and independent publishers
• 180,000 public policy papers from think tanks and government sources
• Over 200,000 titles available
• A 4,000 entry directory of Canadian research and government organizations

Accessing Canada Commons

Canada Commons provides more than one way to access their database. In addition to the the EZProxy/IP authentication method we use for all of our library databases, Redeemer staff, faculty and students  can create a free individual Canada Commons account that is linked to our institutional subscription through their Redeemer email address. This provides another way to login to Canada Commons when off campus.
