Periodical Databases

Canadian Newsstream

Full-text articles published in both local and national newspapers (Toronto Star, National Post, The Globe and Mail). A very useful resource for locating media coverage of the annual festival. However, the database does not include a complete back-issue archive of each newspaper.

Search results can be sorted by a specific title of a periodical (such as the Toronto Star) and the type of publication it contains (article, feature, etc.).

Canadian Periodicals Index Quarterly (CPI.Q)

The database contains full-text articles from popular and academic publications that are not available in Canadian Newsstream. It covers a broad range of subjects including current events, health, technology, the arts, history, literature, culture and business.

Factiva

Full-text articles from many local and national papers not available from Canadian Newsstream and the CPI.Q, including the Toronto Sun, the Globe and Mail and others.
