Library Introduction for AIQS

Welcome to the Kelvin Smith Library!

This guide is designed to introduce you to the Kelvin Smith Library, its resources, and the type of research you'll likely do for your AIQS assignments. You can follow this guide chronologically by using the tabs on the left side to get an idea of the research process and how to use KSL-specific resources. You can also skip directly to the specific parts you have questions about. Still feeling stuck? That's okay! Use the Contact Us tab to reach out to a librarian through chat, phone, e-mail, or in person. We're always happy to answer questions!

Accessing Online Resources

Many of the digital resources provided by KSL require you to verify your identity/affiliation with CWRU. This is done automatically when using CaseWireless on campus. If you're off campus and need to access digital resources you can do so by using a VPN. You can find more information about using a VPN here
