It's been awhile since I've conducted academic research, where is the best starting place if I want to re-familurize myself with the search process?
The best place to start familiarize yourself with the search process through CWU Libraries is by checking out our OneSearch Tutorial Videos. OneSearch is the libraries search engine that allows you to search for books, journal articles, videos, scores, maps, and more!
I need a specific book, and the CWU Library doesn't have it. Is there a way I can access it?
If you need a book that our libraries don't have a copy of, you can request it from one of our Summit partners via an interlibrary loan. To do so, select check holdings, and then Request through Summit/ILL.
Allow around 5-7 days to receive orders. You will be contacted by the Circulation Department when they are ready to be picked up.
