New government resources at Oakville Public Library

The following electronic resources have been added:
Finding home: Policy options for addressing homelessness in Canada
Finding Home aims to fill a gap in the information available on homelessness by providing an easily accessible collection of some of the best Canadian research and policy analysis on homelessness. This e-book includes summaries of recently completed research reports as well as the most policy-relevant published articles from scholarly journals. The chapters have been edited to keep them at a length of 3,000 to 9,000 words and to ensure that they are accessible to a non-specialist audience. Each chapter is a separate dowloadable PDF.
