Although the Libraries' home page has been available for nearly one year, it has evolved in substance and design. You will also find information about the Libraries, its branches and divisions, along with the Guide to the University of Washington Libraries and the publication you are reading now, Library Directions . You can search the UW Libraries Catalog, the UW Law Library Catalog and view a clickable map of all libraries complete with information about hours. Selected online journals are also available. Under Resources by Subject you will find links to local and remote Web sites selected by UW Libraries subject specialists.
Some links connect to electronic texts while others provide information on printed sources.
