The standard WU catalog displays the following holdings: printed materials (books and journals), eBooks and eJournals, WU theses, and the Language Resource Center’s collections. The CatalogPLUS offers a broader range of results. It includes over 300 million references and full texts from the library’s databases, as well as open access sources in the search results.
Accessing online resources
Do you ever wish to access electronic resources from the convenience of your home? If you’re a member of WU (WU students and staff), you can do this at any time. Just make sure that you’re connected to WU via VPN for remote access.
Filters & Functions
The CatalogPLUS enables you to refine your search results based on specific criteria. You can also expand the list of search results to get more items. Additionally, you can access more results that are relevant for your search. Some of these techniques are explained here.
Peer-reviewed Filter
By using the Peer-reviewed Journals filter, you narrow down your search results to scientific journal articles that have undergone peer review. If you’re curious about how it all works, just click here.
Open access filter
This filter offers you “free to read” content, including open access materials. This implies that these results are publicly accessible and come at no cost, even if you are not affiliated with WU.
Citation Trail
The up arrow leads you to journal articles that cite this publication. Conversely, the down arrow takes you to journal articles that have been cited in this publication, meaning they are listed in its bibliography.
