Due to the renovation of the Circulation floor (top floor) of the library, the majority of the library’s print books have been put into storage. But don’t worry— the entire circulating collection of books will be back in place on the top floor when the renovation is complete later this year!
In the meantime, you still have several options for books to support your research:
- Use the “Core Collection”
A small collection of books (approximately 1000 volumes) is available for checkout. These books can be checked out for a two-week period. Go to the Circulation Department on the library’s main floor to access this collection.
The library’s extensive eBook collection (over 40,000 e-Books) is still available during the renovation. Students can access eBooks from off-campus locations by using their MyVWCC username and password.
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is an option for students who require print books for academic work. It usually takes 5-10 business days for books to arrive. Please keep this time frame in mind when making an ILL request.
Brown Library staff members are glad to help you with all of your information needs. Ask a Librarian!
