The Libris Index provides word, title, author and subject access to material published in a number of Canadian periodicals of historical significance, including Maclean's Magazine, The Financial Post, The Monetary Times of Canada, Massey's Magazine, The Canadian Bookman, The Canadian Forum, The Canadian Illustrated News, The Canadian Magazine, Saturday Night, Everywoman's World, Descant and The University Magazine.

For students, researchers and the general public, the database is nothing less than a window into the social and cultural life of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Libris is growing, and currently contains almost half a million citations, with annotations (and for Maclean's Magazine, comprehensive abstracts).

The separate indexes which comprise the Libris database represent thousands of hours of work on the part of a small group of skilled indexers, including Gordon Adshead, Grace Heggie and Anne McGaughey. The Maclean's and Monetary Times projects were co-ordinated by Vivienne Monty of York University, with grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Members of the original Libris Advisory Group were: Gordon Adshead, Anita Cannon (Mount Allison University), Anne McGaughey, Vivienne Monty (York University), Gord Ripley (Reference Press) and Brent Roe (Laurentian University). The database is published by Reference Press.
