CWU James E. Brooks Library -- Your Partner for Student Success

As Adjunct faculty of Central Washington University you have the same library privileges as all faculty of the University. This gives you access to all the subscribed journals, electronic books, and reference services.
You can access the following services through CWU Brooks Library:
·      Liaison Librarians assigned to each academic discipline
·      Research Assistance in person, by phone, and via email
·      24/7 Live Reference Chat
·      Access to Library Resources including electronic access to journals, databases, eBooks, government documents and streaming video
·      Information Literacy Instruction via Skype, Canvas or as part of a library visit

Traditionally academic libraries housed books and periodicals for use by academic researchers. A modern academic library offers much more than just circulation of books and reference services. We still offer those traditional services, but the electronic age means much of our content can be accessed remotely, making it easy to use the library wherever you have a cell or internet connection.

All CWU faculty can utilize the library and the full range of services.

Marty Blackson is liaison to College in the High School and can help direct you to subject specific reference librarians if you need research assistance.
