Accessing Other Library Resources

Due to licensing agreements with our resource providers, only currently enrolled students and faculty & staff are permitted remote access to many library electronic resources, including electronic journals, article databases, and the FindIt links in your Refworks account. Refer to Visitor Information for details regarding on-site and off-campus access to library resources. WAA members have access to two online databases through the WAA Library Service.
