EDAD501 Research Guide

This is a guide designed to assist students in the Adult & Higher Education graduate program in finding information sources.

Delivery Options

Outreach and Continuing Education faculty and students can elect to have research materials delivered to them by US mail. Only users who visit campus less than 2 times a week can benefit from this service, since it is usually faster to pick up items at the Haggard Circulation Desk after getting an e-mail notice of the items arrival.

Graduate Students have the option of having items delivered to a department mailbox or to a home address. These delivery services are available with the set-up of a pre-established delivery location. Please contact the Interlibrary Loan Department at 360-650-3076 or ILLiad@wwu.edu to discuss your options.

Fines

Western Libraries does not charge overdue fines for most WWU library materials.

A few categories of specialty items do accrue fines, including course reserves, recalled items, Summit books, and interlibrary loans (ILL).

The Libraries will charge a lost item fees for items more than 60 days overdue. These fees are forgiven once an item has been returned or replaced.
