Interlibrary Loan

Off-Campus Access
WCC provides a wide range of specially licensed electronic databases through VIVA (Virtual 图书馆 of Virginia) and the VCCS. To access these from off-campus, faculty and students need to use their VCCS assigned username and password. Get complete off-campus access instructions.
Course Reserves
书, articles and videos that are assigned for specific courses may be placed on reserve by instructors for short term loan, e.g., two hours, 1-day, 2-days. Personal copies of books may be put on reserve as well as library materials. Requests for materials to be placed on reserve should be given to the library staff at least two days prior to the students’ assignment.
图书馆 Instruction
- Course-Related Instruction - Librarians are available to teach students how to search for information, how to obtain copies of materials, and how to critically evaluate information resources relative to a particular field of study. We emphasize the use of print and electronic resources available in the WCC 图书馆 through the VCCS and VIVA (Virtual 图书馆 of Virginia). Please call a librarian to schedule course-related library instruction.
Collection Development
The process of selecting materials for the library collection is a cooperative one involving the library staff and the teaching faculty. 教师 members are expected to assist the library staff in the selection of both new materials to be added to the collection and old or out-of-date materials to be removed from it. The 图书馆 Collection Development Review Plan has been devised to insure that all areas of the library collection are reviewed every five years on a program-by-program or subject-by-subject basis. 教师 members may send their requests for new library materials to the library staff.
