Library Services
is a library consortium of academic, health and government libraries that share resources through an online catalogue and borrower
database. A NEOS library card is good at any member library. In addition, borrowers may request items through the catalogue and have them sent to their library of choice. Borrowed items may be returned to any NEOS library. The NEOS catalogue allows borrowers to see the status of their accounts, renew items and check or cancel hold requests.
The NEOS consortium recognizes that the NEOS catalogue and resource
descriptions contain language that reflects the biases, norms, and perspectives
of the time in which they were created. In particular, for resources about
persons and groups, this language is often outdated and harmful. These descriptions also incorporate controlled
vocabularies, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings, which include
some headings (e.g., Indians of North America), that are offensive or
inappropriate. NEOS libraries use international standards for description, but support and
actively participate in efforts to update and change these practices. They strive for descriptions that are inclusive, respectful, and do not cause harm. NEOS acknowledges the critical importance of community consultation in these
efforts, and, as many of its libraries are on Treaty 6 territory and Métis Region 4, it commits to working together with the local communities to make these changes.

Students have online access to a wide variety of databases which reference journal articles helpful for term papers. Most of the databases include access to the full text of an article. User authentication is required for offsite access. A current Newman Library card barcode number and PIN are required. If you do not know what your PIN is, contact library staff. (When typing in your barcode do not type spaces or asterisks.)
