This guide aims to introduce new and returning USW students to the services and resources available from Library Services. If you have not used the library before, the information on this page will be a useful starting point.
If you are about to begin a new project for a class assignment, but you need help or a refresher on how to begin your search, go to our ‘How to find a book’ or ‘How to find an article or journal’ menu to try our tutorials and view our 'How to...' video guides.
Finally, the library service is here to help, by answering your questions from the most basic to the more advanced research query.
You can contact us directly or via our chat service. You can also book an online or one-on-one appointment via Teams with your faculty librarian.
