Welcome
to M.A. Riffel Catholic High School Resource Centre.
Students and
staff are welcome to access multiple resources such as books, audio/video equipment and
internet resources. The library also provides on-line databases found on the Regina
Catholic Schools' home page. Computers are available for library and
internet searches and word processing. Students are issued a library
card in early fall. Students are asked to keep their library cards with them to sign out books.
Virtually browse our library collection by going to the Destiny Discover link on the drop down menu to the left. Once you find a book that you would like to take out, fill in this jot form:
Virtual Book Request
Your book will be signed out to you and you will receive an email to your RCSD account indicating when you can pick up the book from the library.
The library will be open from 8:30-4:00 and during the lunch break for quiet, individual study.

Once logged in, you will have to come back here and click on the link again. Then select All Licensed Resources on the left, and the databases will be listed alphabetically. There is no database called ProQuest on the list, but most students are looking for Canadian Major Dailies.

The missing databases (the Gale In-context series can be accessed at home from any internet browser, but you will need a password to access them. Send Mrs. Perron an email at l.perron@rcsd.ca for the password.
