This Friday is Canada Day and that means, well, besides, backyard and cottage parties, hot dogs and hamburgers and gathering with friends and family which is a great all unto itself, it also means some great access to some online databases as well as some nice discounts.
This weekend two of the leading online databases are offering some free research time in honour of the Canada Day holiday.
