Text A Librarian

The staff at Western-Arcade Library offers research and reference services to all currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff. Librarians are available to assist with learning how to locate books, use the Western research databases, and find authoritative resources on the Internet. We can also help streamline research topics or find materials not available in the Library.

One-on-one reference assistance is available during normal business hours. If you need assistance, just ask a librarian. If a librarian is not available, a Western Seminary staff member will gladly assist you.

In addition to providing traditional research and reference services, the staff at Western-Arcade Library also provides assistance with reference questions via phone, e-mail, chat and now text messaging.
