Library Resources
Washington Technology University’s library is fully digital, providing access whenever and wherever students are learning to the resources selected by faculty and librarians to meet program requirements. Through the library’s website students will be able to access:
Course Resource Guides are available 24/7 listing required and recommended course materials; • Tutorials on how to find, evaluate, and use information resources; • Online access to books, e-books, full-text articles, videos and other resources; • Personalized research support through the Librarian portal connection.
As Washington Technology University will be offering programs initially leading to a Bachelor of Science in Information Security, the library resources will be virtually accessible through the University website and more critically loaded directly onto the learning management system and syllabi for each course. The University Librarian/Learning Resource Director will be available full time when students are present on campus and by email link.
A review of the databases will be available to students, and which are subscribed to by WTU for students in the initial BSIS program, include:
