or other information resources for researchers and research teams
Please also take advantage
of our Ask A Librarian
reference service for research help via:

is open - click on the link at the upper right of most
library pages.
Library Facilities,
Collections and Services

library electronic classrooms.

Information Literacy
and Undergraduate Research
The library is committed
to supporting faculty, students, staff and the broader community with
information needed for scholarly and creative work. Librarians see
themselves as partners in the undergraduate research initiative at
Weber State University (WSU). Through WSU's Information
Literacy program and requirement
students are highly encouraged to gain information
literacy competencies in their freshman and sophomore years. Students
that have met WSU's information literacy requirement will arrive in
the upper division coursework ready to engage in research in their
major course of study. Undergraduate research experiences will better
enable students to leave WSU as lifelong learners.
