Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log in to online library resources?

If you're off campus, all of the library's databases, eBooks, and online articles can be accessed 24/7 by logging in with your MyVWCC username and password when prompted. If you have problems with your login, contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@virginiawestern.edu or (540) 857-7354.

How do I borrow items?

Faculty can use a valid photo ID (such as a VWCC employee ID card, driver's license, or any government-issued ID) to check out items in the library. Faculty are limited to a total of 15 items on loan at any given time. A maximum of 4 DVDs may be on loan at any given time and count towards the overall 15 item limit. Books can be borrowed for a 28-day period, and DVDs can be borrowed for 7 days.

How do I renew items?

Renewals may be requested in person at the Checkout Desk, via telephone at (540) 857-6941, or via email at library@virginiawestern.edu. Items eligible for renewal may only be renewed once.
