Welcome to the Library
The Iowa Western Community College Library system provides learning opportunities at the Council Bluffs and Clarinda Campuses and the Cass, Page/Fremont, and Shelby county centers. Library programs, services, and resources are available at all these locations.
Students and faculty may contact any of these locations to inquire about local programs, services, and resources.
All current IWCC students, faculty and staff have 24/7 access to full-text journal articles, books, and other resources through a search tool called “OneSearch”.
If you are a current student, faculty or staff member, click here to access “OneSearch”, a new tool to search all library resources with one search and click. If you have problems accessing OneSearch from off campus, try accessing it through your courses on SAIL under the Resources Tab.
