    Overdrive Magazines (Formerly RBDigital Unlimited Magazines -Zinio)

    A package of over 3,000 popular titles (including Canadian Living, National Geographic, The New Yorker, and many more) with varieties of languages and up to three years of back issues are now available for unlimited simultaneous access with no circulation caps.

    Our online eMagazine provider OverDrive couldn’t make an agreement with The Economist. As a result, all editions of the Economist, as well as all back issues, are no longer available to clients effective February 1, 2023.

    We apologize for the inconvenience and invite you to check out the print edition of The Economist that is available at some of our OPL branches. Please search for “The Economist” from our online catalog for more information.

    Full-text remote access to The Economist is available from the following two databases:

    • Gale Academic OneFile, and
    • Gale OneFiile: Business
