Non-Library Collections
- Western Libraries closed to the public but Open Online. See the COVID-19 Updates and Resources page for the latest information.
Non-Library Collections
The Libraries’ searchable catalog contains all the resources available from the Western Washington University Libraries, plus selected non-Library offices and centers at WWU. Non-Library WWU offices choose to have their resources added to the Libraries’ catalog:
- to increase the use of their resources by increasing their visibility;
- to assist offices considering purchasing a resource by identifying where the resource is already available.
Â
Generally, resources are added to the Libraries’ catalog only when they are available for use by all WWU students, faculty and staff. Exceptions are sometimes made when the Libraries’ support would help a College or Department make resources available for use by a specific class or group of classes.
