Library Resources
CWU libraries have reworked previously primarily in-person services to better meet the needs of students and faculty outside Ellensburg by increasing our virtual accessibility and support. The main website, www.lib.cwu.edu, serves as a landing place for all users, with most services available either virtually or in-person.
Additionally, most University Center students have access to host college library resources with the use of their CWU ID card. Please call or email the University Center directly for more information on host college library usage.
