What can the library do for you?
The UWS library is here to help you succeed in your academic and scholarly work. In addition to a bright and comfortable physical space, the library hosts a substantial physical resource collection, anatomical and bone model collection and course reserves collection (containing required and recommended texts for all UWS programs). Additional services include device borrowing (laptops, iPads), study material borrowing (headphones, chargers, standing desks, etc.), print/scan/copy/fax, notary services and a set of curated research guides.
Further, the UWS librarians are here to…
- Guide you to the most appropriate databases and resources for your information needs.
- Work with you to create effective search strategies.
- Save you time in doing article searches and literature reviews.
- Locate full-text articles from citations (and teach you how to DIY).
- Teach you how to find, use, and cite information ethically, responsibly and professionally.
- Assist you with using RefWorks or other tools to cite your sources.
