Owen Science and Engineering Library contains many resources for students and faculty interested in Statistics. The purpose of this subject guide is to alert you to some of the more significant resources available at Owen Library and on the World Wide Web.

If you have any questions not answered on the WSU Libraries website or would like to request a book, journal, conference proceeding, etc. on subjects related to this area, please contact Joel Cummings. For questions about the WSU's Statistics program, please see the Department of Statistics.

To Find a Book or Compilation:

• Find a book from here at WSU
• Find/borrow a book from nearby schools (generally takes three days).
• Borrow a book from anywhere in the entire world (generally takes a week).
• Request that we buy a book for the WSU library (please include WSU contact info!).
• Come by and browse the shelves! Here are the call numbers where you can find most Engineering topics on the top floor of the Owen Science and Engineering Library.

To Find an Article or Conference Presentation:

• If you know the title of whatever its printed in, look for the specific publication at WSU.
• If you don't know that, there are a large number of places to search for articles. WSU pays for some resources to help:
  • Go to WSU Libraries' databases of Statistics journal articles and resources (databases in Mathematics may also be relevant). To search within any one of those databases, click on the name and it'll take you to that database. If you want more information about what's in a database, click on the to the right of the name. You can also click on "Find Database" at the top, then go to the Subjects list and look in sets of databases in other fields. We also have databases of of sources of statistics, which are very different!
  • Important Help: Watch for the "Find It at WSU" button: Click on this button and the computer will open a new window where you can see if we have an article electronically, check the catalog for it, or borrow it from another library.
