Library Services
The Claude R. Rickman Library engages the Southern Wesleyan University community by supporting and cultivating scholarship and creativity through access to staff, services, and resources. The library collection contains books, eBooks, reference materials (print and online), DVDs, CDs, and curriculum materials. The library also has digital access to thousands of journals through online databases that provide access to millions of full text journal articles.
The Rickman Library homepage is the starting point for accessing all library resources. Students can search the online catalog for books and other materials that are housed in the library. Students can also search and request holdings from other academic libraries across the state of South Carolina through the statewide catalog, PASCAL.
Over 100 databases are available from the library, arranged by both title or subject. To access databases, log in with your full SWU email address and the password used for access to the student portal mySWU.
Research and course guides are available with useful resources compiled by librarians. There are also pages with tips for citing your sources in APA or MLA writing styles.
Please contact a librarian if you have any questions about accessing or using library resources. We are here to assist you with your research needs!
