CAPS – Library Services

Online Campus Library Services (OCLS) provides online and onsite access to resources and services specifically for adult students. The Jackson Library in Marion, Indiana, has thousands of materials available in many databases, print and online journals, streaming media, and print and ebooks. Users can search these materials through Jackson Library’s online catalog and OCLS’ secure online databases. Remote access is also available to all databases through the university login.

OCLS Librarians answer APA Style questions and create Personalized Search Plans customized to students’ research needs. Librarians can help troubleshoot basic Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel issues. OCLS also provides Academic Writer support.

IWU National and Global students can contact OCLS via e-mail (ocls@indwes.edu), through our request form, or by phone at 1-800-521-1848.

OCLS is a member of the Academic Libraries of Indiana, which allows Indiana students to use many other Indiana college and university libraries. Kentucky students may contact their OCLS librarian to learn about access to other libraries in their area.
