In addition to the resources and services described in the general FAQ, the following are of particular relevance to graduate students:

Liaison Librarians - book an individual consultation with your department's Liaison Librarian for an orientation to library services and information resources or assistance with search strategies and using specific databases and other resources.

Theses - online UPEI theses and dissertations are available from 2013 to the present in IslandScholar and up to 2013-2014 in Dissertations & Theses @ University of Prince Edward Island (requires UPEI login for off-campus use)

Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) - original data from surveys from Statistics Canada

RefWorks - a web-based citation manager for collecting and storing citations. Also formats citations in Word documents.

Services:

• Interlibrary Loan - use this service to obtain material that is not available in our Library. The Library covers ILL costs for graduate students.
• Document Delivery: Scanned articles and chapters from the Library's print collection - Graduate students may submit requests using the Interlibrary Loan form. The scanned article/chapter will be delivered as a link in an email message, subject to the same conditions as an article/chapter obtained through Interlibrary Loan.
• Other university libraries, visiting and borrowing - a CAUL card from the Robertson Library gives UPEI students, faculty and staff borrowing privileges at other participating university libraries. Please contact the Circulation Desk, 566-0583, or email Cindy MacDonald to find out how you can obtain your CAUL card.
  • Also see Eduroam for setting up your laptop to use the wireless network at other participating university libraries before you visit.
