If you’re tired of academic texts and want to get a head start on your summer reading, check out the leisure reading collection on the first floor directly across from Cramelot Cafe. This collection is provided by Cleveland Public Library and you can check items out using your Cleveland Public Library Card (all CWRU students are eligible for a library card from CPL and you can even sign up online! You can find more information about getting a public library card here. 

Library How To's

Most of the time the full text of a journal article is available directly from the database you’re searching in. However, sometimes they just list the citation and no access to the full text. It’s nice to know that the article exists but what if you actually want to read it? That’s the perfect time to use our eJournals Portal!

The eJournals Portal provides comprehensive information on all of our periodicals subscriptions. By searching the name of the journal the article was published in you can check all of the access points and see what years we have available. If you still can’t get access to the specific article you were looking for you can always request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary loan is a completely free service that allows libraries all over the world to share their collections with students and researchers like you!

Featured Service

Don’t forget that you can always set up a research appointment with a librarian. Appointments are offered both in-person and virtually through Zoom. Librarians can help you during any point in the research process, whether you need help narrowing down your topic, finding sources, or integrating those sources into your own research. We’d love to hear from you!
