library search.
Find a Resource
Books. Databases. Research guides. And more! The WCJC has a plethora of resources
available to help you succeed inside and outside the classroom.
You can request up to eight books or other materials from any one of the campus libraries
or affiliated institutions.
Students can check out books for up to two weeks. You can renew your item one time
unless the item is on hold.
Late Fees
Students and employees will not be charged late fees for materials returned after
the due date. Those who are not students or faculty will be charged a late fee of
$0.25 each day the materials are overdue The cost of lost or damaged materials is
calculated by the amount the library will have to spend to replace the item(s). Any
unpaid fines or unreturned items at the end of a semester will cause a hold on that
student's grades.
Looking for a specific book title from 1962? Or a microfilm from 1954? Maybe you're

to find exactly what you're on the hunt for - and much more.
