Clearinghouse of Professional Information

A-Z Index

In order to expand the information available to libraries for planning and assessment, OLS-N and SOLS maintain a Clearinghouse which is a comprehensive topical index to information. Links to selected SOLS information, OLS-N information, as well as links to external sources, are provided. Some of the topics in this list also support the EXCEL programme. Alternately, all topics discussed in the EXCEL coursework can be accessed through the an alternate Professional Information index page.

Note: The OLS Clearinghouse is not a bilingual website. Resource pages are developed by topic and will reflect the available resources in either language as the need arises to support our programmes. French Resources pages will have a French title. Where resources have been developed in both languages this will be indicated at the top of the page.
