WWU Western Libraries provides excellent services to graduate students, including access to its collection and collections at other libraries, instruction in conducting library research, and interlibrary loan for obtaining journal articles and books not available in the WWU library. A new system, Cascade, allows students to simultaneously search the holdings (more than 10 million items - books, journals, videos, and other material) of all six public higher institutions in Washington.  In addition, students can request books from these institutions. 

The Writing Center works with all level of student writing.  This service may be particularly helpful for students who have not been in school for awhile and want some assistance in strengthening their writing skills.  Writing conferences are provided (both on-line and in-person) in which students work with writing assistants to identify patterns of strength and possible areas for revision and editing in draft assignments. In online conference, writers submit their drafts via a web form and receive responses in the form of emails from writing assistants.   Because the Writing Center believes in writing as a process, staff encourage writers to visit the Writing Center at any point while writing, whether it be for help in selecting a topic or in polishing a final draft.  Additional information about the Writing Center is available at www.ac.wwu.edu/~writepro/.
