Library CatalogTop of pageNext section

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 JournalsTop of pageNext section

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

Connecting to electronic and paper journals via the FindIt icon: This software dynamically links indexes, like Web of Science or others to full-text electronic documents, the library catalog, or interlibrary loan services. If you see a button like the one here, you should be able to click on it and find the WSU libraries' holdings for the item -- in print or electronic form.
