Announcements, Library News & Information
VWCC Home > Brown Library > Announcements > Online Help

InfoGuides are a great place to start your research. They contain suggested databases, search tips, videos, citation guidance, and much more. To access a list of our InfoGuides, organized by Subject Area, choose “InfoGuides” from the library’s homepage.

To see a list of article databases, choose “Find Articles” from the library’s homepage and select “Databases.” All library databases and eBooks can be accessed off-campus 24/7 by logging in with your MyVWCC username and password when prompted. If you have trouble with your MyVWCC username or password, contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@virginiawestern.edu.

Interlibrary Loan is available to request books and articles the library does not have. Please contact a librarian if you need assistance identifying research materials. Information on contacting a librarian can be found below.

Current VWCC students, staff, and faculty may use the library catalog https://vcc-vwc-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=VWCC  to search for main collection books & DVDs and place holds. Users will click “sign in” to sign into their account and choose the option to “request” the desired item. Library staff will pull the book or DVD from the shelf, check it out to the user, and have it available.

To see a list of eBooks, choose “Find Books” from the library’s homepage and select “Catalog.” Enter keywords in the search box. From the search results list, you may use limiters on the right side of the screen to limit to full text online and select specific resource types, like book chapters or eBooks.

The library offers a 24/7 online chat/ instant messaging service to help with research questions. Simply click on “Ask a Librarian Chat” on our library homepage to ask a question and get help day or night.

If you need more in-depth help, librarians Katelyn Burton, Dale Dulaney, and Marci Myers are also available to conduct research consultations by appointment via phone, email, or Zoom videoconferencing. Email us at library@virginiawestern.edu to make an appointment for extra help.
