Reference: The library is providing virtual reference services via the following:
Research Appointments: One on one virtual research appointments can be made with librarians. Please visit the Directory for contact information. Keep in mind that email will be the best way to reach librarians as some will be working remotely and may not have access to their phones.
Limited circulation services are now available. Curbside pick up of books will be available. Please email circulation@wcsu.edu with requests.
Requesting items: Requests for physical items from WCSU libraries can be made via WestSearch. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests are also now available - See our Interlibrary Loan page.
Returning Items: Items can now be returned to the library.
As library materials are received, they will be quarantined for 24 hours and then checked in. No fines are accruing during this time. Your library account will be updated after the material has been checked in (up to 1.5 weeks after you returned the item).
We are providing two ways for you to return your items:
Reserves: The library is unable to process requests for physical items. However, the library has access to electronic sources, which may include the book that you need. Please use the chat box on this page to connect with a librarian.
Questions: Please contact circulation@wcsu.edu.
