NWTC LIBRARY RESOURCES & ACCESS
Transcripted credit instructors and students have the same level of access
to NWTC learning resources (libraries, laboratories, databases, etc.) as
post-secondary students and instructors.
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 www.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 on the left side of the screen. You can limit by resource type,
location, date, subject, and more. You can even limit right away to
Films on Demand online videos or Ebrary ebooks.
• You can use the Advanced Search feature to limit to discipline before
searching. This helps when you are searching for articles and want to
focus the search on subject-specific databases. You can even limit
right away to items from Films on Demand or Ebook Central.
• 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).
