Research Resources

EWU Libraries online resources include databases for finding articles, most with full-text, electronic books, census and other government resources, to name a few.

Our reference collection is comprised of online and print encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, statistical resources, and a wide range of subject-specific resources that support the curriculum. We also have an online guide to quick facts or ready reference websites.

All computers in the library have access to our resources. All of the computers are networked to the print stations, located on every floor of the library. You can also bring your laptop and access our wireless network.
