To access databases from off-campus:
When prompted, use your KWU userid (the first part of your KWU email, such as john.doe) and your email password. This is not the same as your MyKWU log in, and may not be the same as your Canvas login.
We suggest using the General Databases (listed above in the "Articles-General Databases" tab) first and then moving on to the appropriate Research Guide to find the best databases and websites to use for your specific topic. Choose a guide related to the course or the topic you are researching.
Online citation help is also still available (as below).
Help is available! Don’t hesitate to ask a question or discuss a research problem with the librarians. We love questions!
Use Interlibrary Loan to request books, articles, movies, sheet music, etc., that we don't have at KWU.
