Library Resources

How Do I Find Library Materials ?
If you are teaching NWTC coursework in high school , you and your students have access to NWTC Library Resources , please see below for more information :
• Use Library Search ( located at nwtc . edu / Library ) to search all of the NWTC Library ’ s resources at once or to just search the Catalog ( No Articles ) or the online Journal List .
• After searching , you will see a resource list that allows you to filter the results . You can limit by resource type , location , date , subject , and more . You can even limit right away to our online video or e-book collections ..
• The Catalog Only search is useful when you do not want to see all of the journal articles in your results . It provides results for anything that the Library has cataloged ( books , ebooks , videos , online videos , audio , and journals ). t
How Do I Access Online Videos ?
