If you do not have an ID and password, but want to search WGSN, go to the Reference Desk in Gutman Library. A librarian will log you on to WGSN . There are two primary databases for researching the literature of the textiles industry. They are Textiles Technology Digest and World Textiles Abstracts . TTD and WTA focus on the technical and engineering aspects of the textiles trade.
Items indexed include books, dissertations and patents.
These two databases only provide abstracts of the articles indexed - they DO NOT provide full text. Gutman Library has subscriptions to both of these databases. This system requires a USER ID and password and is available only in Gutman Library . If you need to search either TTD or WTA, you MUST come to Gutman Library. While none of our other online databases is as specific to fashion and textiles as the databases mentioned above, several of our business databases also cover these industries.
