WSU WWAMI Basic Medical Sciences Program
| Library and Librarian |
The Health Sciences Library, located in Wegner Hall, contains useful resources for students and faculty interested in medicine. If you have any questions not answered on the WSU Libraries website, or would like to request a book, journal, conference proceeding or some other resource on this subject, please contact your subject liaison librarian, Linda Shippert. For questions about the WSU WWAMI Basic Medical Sciences Program, please see the WSU WWAMI web site. For information on other health information resources provided by the WSU Libraries, please see the subject guides on Pharmacacotherapy/Pharmacy Practice, Veterinary Medicine/Veterinary Sciences, or Food Science/Human Nutrition.
| Library Catalog |
The GRIFFIN Library Catalog includes the holdings for the WSU Libraries, both in Pullman and across the state. The library is also a member of SUMMIT, a union catalog of member libraries in Washington and Oregon. SUMMIT allows students and faculty at WSU to search for and borrow books from these libraries at no cost.
| Electronic Journals |
The WSU Libraries list their electronic journal holdings in the library catalog, known as Griffin. References to an electronic journal in the catalog should have links either to the electronic journal itself or to the database that contains the electronic journal. If you cannot find a journal that you have reason to believe should be available at WSU, or you would like to have electronic access to a journal, please contact Vicki Croft
