Changes related to EWU Library presence at SAL/WSU Library on Spokane campus

As of July 1, EWU Libraries will no longer have a presence at WSU’s Spokane Academic Library (SAL).

What does this mean for EWU users?
EWU students/faculty may continue to use the Spokane Academic Library space, computers and resources during staffed library hours using the same opportunities WSU affords to community members. EWU students/faculty, including those at the Catalyst Building, may apply for WSU Summit status, allowing access to WSU materials and requesting privileges from other libraries. Visit https:/spokane.wsu.edu/library/faq/ for more information.

Can EWU users access SAL using their ID card for 24/7 access during non-staffed hours?
No. EWU users will only be able to access the SAL during normal staffed hours. These are typically 7:30am – 5pm, Monday through Friday during the academic year. Shorter hours will be available during intersession.

Can EWU users access WSU online resources? How about EWU online resources?
Yes. EWU users can use the computer terminals in the Spokane Academic Library to access most of WSU’s online resources. This is the same access that EWU users have enjoyed throughout the EWU/WSU partnership. EWU students will still be able to access EWU online resources by logging in, just as they do from other off-campus locations.

Can EWU users use the Spokane Academic Library study rooms?
No. The study rooms at the Spokane Academic Library are only for the use of WSU students, staff, and faculty. EWU users are welcome to use the public areas of the library for study.

How can EWU users get help on research questions?
