Accessing Western Library Resources from Home (or Anywhere Else You Might Be!)

As Western students and staff quickly transition to doing assignments and learning remotely, you may be wondering how to access library resources from off-campus. Fortunately, it's pretty straightforward.

You'll find these 4 red buttons on our website:

1. Find Books
   Did you know you can use the Advanced Search option limit your search to ebooks you can access online?
2. Find Articles
   Then select the database you want from the list of A-Z Databases and log in with your MyWestern username and password. 
3. Find Research Guides
   Search for a particular project or class, or use the *Getting Started guides for a general overview.
4. Ask a Librarian
   We want to help! Tell us what you need.  

The video below walks you through it all (in just 4 minutes).

If you have any trouble, please reach out to us at library@westerntc.edu.
