Resources You Need
Take advantage of our research databases, research guides, and other e-resources available to all current GWC students.

Research Help
Librarians can help you start your research, locate information from resources in multiple formats, cite information sources, and use many online resources and services. For immediate research assistance, contact a Librarian at the library’s Reference Desk via the library website’s chat feature. Online Zoom or in-person research appointments can also be scheduled with a librarian for a future date.
