From off-campus, simply provide your SUeID & password to authenticate yourself and gain access to the library's databases.
TIP: Make sure you're logging into the yellow Southwestern login screen, NOT the database's login screen.
Never pay for articles; the library can get that information for you for from another source. Ask a librarian.
When is the library open? You can search online at any time! During the school year, you can visit the library 7 days a week. Check the hours first before you visit because they do change.
How do I find items in the library? The library uses the Dewey Decimal System to assign a unique call number to every physical item in the building. The library's collection spans all three floors of the building and is arranged by call number. For assistance finding items in other locations, just ask at the library's InfoDesk on the first floor at the Research Commons.
