The Campus Library offers several online and print resources to help you study for the WEST-B, WEST-E, and NES exams. Each exam title links to the appropriate WEST/NES-sanctioned preparation materials. Suggested study guides available in the library are listed below, with additional study materials noted in the right sidebar. You can also find all our study materials as well as a variety of additional resources, both online and in the library, in UW Libraries Search.
For online titles, click on the Access Options link, then select ebrary. For print titles, click on the Availability & Request Options link, then note the UW Bothell/CCC Library location and call number to find the book on the shelf.
If you are a current UW or Cascadia College student, you may access any of the online titles from off-campus with your UW NetID. You may also check-out some of the print materials to take home, with the exception of materials that are library-use-only.
If you are not currently affiliated with UW or Cascadia, you may access online titles in the Campus Library by logging in to one of our four Guest Research Stations. You may also use any of the print materials in the library.
