Library And Resources

Welcome to the Washington University of Science and Technology Learning Resources Center!

The Washington University of Science and Technology Library Resource Guide 2025 provides essential information on utilizing the library’s comprehensive resources to maximize success in your academic journey. While the library does have a physical catalog, the majority of our resources are electronic and accessible anywhere with an internet connection. For assistance locating or accessing resources, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] .

The Learning Resources Center offers a diverse collection that includes books/e-books, academic journals, periodicals, reports, and e-journals. Currently, students have access to hundreds of databases and over 500,000 electronic books through LIRN, Open Library, and EBSCOhost. The availability of our library’s physical resources (such as books and textbooks) can be viewed through Populi. Electronic periodicals (including articles, videos, and audio files) are accessible through The Wall Street Journal. Login credentials for these services are available in the library (onsite), through the Library Learning Resource Guide, or by contacting the librarian. The study area is equipped with three networked computers for research purposes.

Library hours, library staff availability, and additional resources are included below. For login credentials, please refer to our Populi Page .

Frequently Asked Questions

All of our digital resources (with login credentials) are available here on our Populi Library Links Page . If you experience any difficulty logging in, please contact [email protected].

Our entire physical collection can be browsed on Populi. You can search books by their title, author, keywords, date, etc. If you are unsure if we have a specific book, or if you would like to suggest we order a copy of something, please let us know and we’ll see what we can do!

You can check out a library book by bringing the desired book to the library desk (M-F, 9:00am - 5:00pm); our librarian will check out the book for you and send you reminders for its return-by (due) date. If the library is not staffed when you want to check out a book, then please reach out to a staff member. Either the staff member or you should email the library at [email protected] with the Student ID and the book 8-digit Barcode (this is usually on the inside of the back cover, not to be confused with the ISBN-13 number).

Students can check-out a book for up to three-weeks. Reference books may not be checked out.

The WUST Writing Lab provides one-on-one collaborative tutoring sessions (with both in-person and virtual options) and a wide range of support resources to help you become a more effective writer. For more information, or to request an appointment, please visit this page. The librarian also has resources available to share; just reach out via email.

To make an appointment with the librarian, either fill out this quick appointment form or reach out to the librarian at [email protected].

Yes! The library hosts events, including library Brown Bags, study “Power Hours” (for midterms and finals), and other themed events throughout the year. To request topics for library Brown Bag events, or submit event suggestions, please either contact [email protected] or submit a virtual comment.

If you do not return your library book by the return-by date (and you have not made previous arrangements with the librarian), you will first receive a warning email, usually requesting that you return the book within a specified period. Continued delinquency can result in fines being charged to the student’s Populi account, equal to the cost of the resource (with additional fees added at the librarian’s discretion).

Please reach out to the librarian at [email protected]. We try to give a response within one business day, barring extenuating circumstances.
