The Investigative Journalism Foundation is an independent, non-profit newsroom covering politics, government spending and accountability, healthcare, the economy, and other public interest stories from across Canada. It also features numerous databases containing millions of entries on lobbying, donations, contracts, access to information releases, and more.

This comprehensive collection of Canadian and international periodicals covers multiple subjects, with millions of full-text records:

• The Canadian Business & Current Affairs Database includes more than 700 trade publications, more than 500 scholarly journals, 483 magazines, as well as news reports, radio and television transcripts, dissertations, and more.
• The Canadian Major Dailies database archives news from 24 national and regional newspapers including the National Post, the Globe and Mail, Montreal Gazette, and the Chronicle Herald.

This collection also includes select international publications.

Access note: A physical library card number is required to access the ProQuest database. Unfortunately, a digital library card number (the kind with a dash toward the end) will not work.
