Can members of the public access library databases?
Answer
WKU Library databases are only available to off campus users who have an active netID: current WKU faculty, staff, and students. Our license agreements prohibit us from extending off campus access to users without an active netID.
Alumni, Friends of the Library, and members of the public can access our databases from a designated computer on the 4th floor of Cravens library using a guest log in. This service is available limited hours, normally:
4:00pm - 8:00pm Sunday
9:00am - 8:00pm Monday - Wednesday
9:00am - 4:00pm Thursday and Friday.
Please call ahead to ensure a librarian is available to assist you: 270-745-6125.
