Library and Librarian

The Owen Science and Engineering Library contains useful resources for students and faculty interested in medicine. If you have any questions not answered on the WSU Libraries website, or would like to request a book, journal, conference proceeding or some other resource on this subject, please contact your subject liaison librarian, Linda Crook. For questions about the WSU WWAMI Basic Medical Sciences Program, please see the WSU WWAMI web site. For information on other health information resources provided by the WSU Libraries, please see the subject guides on Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine/Veterinary Sciences, or Food Science/Human Nutrition.

Electronic Journals

The WSU Libraries list their electronic journal holdings in the library catalog, known as Griffin. References to an electronic journal in the catalog should have links either to the electronic journal itself or to the database that contains the electronic journal. If you cannot find a journal that you have reason to believe should be available at WSU, or you would like to have electronic access to a journal, please contact Linda Crook.

Connecting to electronic and paper journals via the FindIt icon: This software dynamically links indexes, like Web of Science or others to full-text electronic documents, the library catalog, or interlibrary loan services. If you see a button like the one here, you should be able to click on it and find the WSU libraries' holdings for the item -- in print or electronic form.
