At the heart of campus, the WSU Libraries support and serve every college and department, as well as their students, staff, and faculty. The Libraries are the center of innovation at WSU.
We have books, journals, media, maps, microforms, government publications, e-books, e-journals, unique digital collections, manuscripts, archives, special collections, classrooms, study spaces, makerspaces, and experienced librarians who enrich the student educational experience. The Libraries are the biggest student employer on campus. Adding to the digital collections, WSU Libraries’ student workers digitized over 42,000 Office of University Publications and Printing/WSU Press photographs and negatives of campus life from 1947 to 1983. See the photos on the WSU Libraries’ website.
Identifying loved ones in these images is priceless. Listen to the story of Brad Newman finding his mom, dad, and grandmother in one of the photos. Nancy Newman and her mother-in-law Dorothy were previously unidentified in the photo. Their names are now in the digital collection.
The WSU Libraries offer students and faculty a research environment with modern facilities and access to digital resources. Expert librarians provide personalized assistance and instructional sessions to enhance students’ information literacy skills. Interlibrary loan services expand access to resources, while the Dimensions Lab provides hands-on experience with emerging technologies like virtual reality and 3D printing. The WSU Libraries provide a space for authors, musicians, and scientists to gather and share their work.
Will you help positively influence the life of a student and make innovation possible by giving a gift today?
