The U of I Moscow has a 4 story library with an online catalog of journals and the specific articles in them, but you cannot browse the articles online for many of the journals according to their website:
"The library subscribes to almost ten thousand periodicals in print and online. Content contained in these resources can be discovered in our
online catalog as part of any search. The options below allow you to search and browse for specific journals and magazines (rather than individual articles)."
UofI Floor Maps show 1 floor of meeting rooms/social but the second floor is loaded with magazines and journals which you can lookup online but which would require an in-person visit to access. The third floor appears to be loaded with books which you can lookup on line but would have to go in to access and the 4th floor contains yet more hard resources like oversized books.

They also have access to the complete UofI library materials through inter-library loan - the largest library in Idaho, their collection includes more than 1 million books. Presumably a combination of hard resources and electronic.
I also doubt that certain other research would be online such as Dissertations - usually those are some resource that requires going in to the specific school's library. There is also a law library at UofI which is extensively hardcover. UofI has a law school where WSU does not(only an undergrad pre-law degree.)
Of course, his research could have been interdisciplinary - much like mine was.
No, this would not be his alibi for the murders at all. However, this would be a reasonable explaination as to why his phone pinged near 1122 King Rd 12 times prior to the murders. These are the library's hour during each semester:

We don't know when those 12 nights he pinged were, but is it possible he pinged on nights when the library was open? Yes. There are actually many other possibilities. We will not know which is right until this goes to trial, though. JMO.
