Off-Campus Access to Databases and Online Resources?

Subscription databases and some online sites are only available to WOU students, faculty and staff. An individual's Pawprint username and password authorizes access to the restricted links.   Searching in the catalog, Summit, library Web pages, and most external links are available to everyone.

The library has a brand new walk-up scanner! It is located behind the information desk on the first floor. It allows for immediate scanning (no log-in necessary) to PDF (including word-searchable PDF), JPG, PNG, rich text, and …audio file!

You can then output the scanned documents to:

• an email address
• Google Drive (Google Docs)
