Hitting the books

Exploring the expanding universe of information begins for Lewis & Clark students at the Watzek Library, where information resources range from rare printed material to electronic resources. Through the Summit catalog, students can search the 27 million items in the collections at 33 academic libraries in the Pacific Northwest and receive materials directly from these institutions within 48 hours.

Group study rooms, wired study tables, wireless network access, and even a fireplace in the periodicals reading room make the library an important place to spend time tracking information resources. “In our increasingly digital era, the Watzek Library offers a place to explore cyberspace,” says library director Jim Kopp, “but it also provides a place to study, read a book, and seek assistance and support from knowledgeable staff members.”
