Research

Databases

Alumni who visit campus are able to search the library's research databases with a guest login and password, obtained at the reference and circulation desks.  When not on campus, keep in mind the public and academic libraries in your area, which likely provide access to research databases.  Public libraries often have databases that can be searched remotely with a library card, and academic libraries often allow guests to search their research databases on site.

Special

Collections

Lewis & Clark's Special Collections offers extensive research collections and the ability to view historical photographs and college yearbooks online.
