NOTICE

Canada Post Strike

Due to the Canada Post Labour Disruption, King's Library will only be fulfilling requests for items within Halifax Metro. Any other requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us with further questions.
For updates on the strike, see Canada Post Labour Negotiations Updates.

Search Tools

Search our catalogue and the catalogues of all Novanet institutions.

You can search for everything from physical books, eBooks, journals and articles to movies, sound recordings, images, dissertations and more.

See our Novanet Guide for more information about the consortium and what it can do for you.

King's students and faculty share all electronic resources with Dalhousie Libraries.

Find the full list of A-Z Databases here.

Get more detailed resource suggestions specifically for your program.


For guides beyond King's courses, see the full list of Dalhousie Research Guides.

Use this chat-based service to ask for reference help from library staff from a Novanet Library. 

This doesn't put you in touch directly with King's Library, but is a great way to get quick answers and links.

This service is designed to respond to brief questions that can be answered quickly and effectively using online resources, such as:

  • "Where/how can I access this resource?"
  • "Where should I start researching this topic?"
  • "Does my library have this title?"
  • "Can you see why I can't access this link?"
  • "What kind of help can I get through my library?"
  • and much more

The Live Help staff will provide you with the best answer, or connect you to the person who can.

For specific questions about items you have on loan or have already requested, please contact us directly at library@ukings.ca
