We know that you will have concerns about the remainder of the semester, so we thought we would share information about library services with you, so that you might feel reassured that we are still here to support your academic success.
Firstly, and probably most importantly, we will be moving our academic coaching program online. Online Academic Coaching is available by clicking on this link https://wnc.mywconline.com/. You will then be guided to register for an account which will require you to give your NSHE number and some other information. You will then be able to make an appointment on the schedule with an online academic coach. Online Academic Coaching is available Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 8 pm, Friday, 8 am to 5 pm and Saturday, 11 am to 3 pm. If you have any questions, then please email Ron Belbin (ronald.belbin@wnc.edu)
We are sure that many of you will be working on research papers as we move towards the end of the semester. We will be providing virtual research assistance. Please contact us by email (ronald.belbin@wnc.edu and larry.calkins@wnc.edu) or phone (775-445-3229). We will be monitoring that number regularly and will get back to you as soon as we can.
While we will not be able to lend any of our traditional resources, we have a wide range of digital resources such as databases, streaming movies, and ebooks that you can access via the library homepage. Our library guides on the webpage will help you make the most of those resources, if you are unfamiliar with them. Also, please ask for help if you need it. We are happy to work with you by phone or email.
Finally, all late fees and fines will be waived during our closure. So, if you have borrowed any library resources, then please hold onto them until we reopen.
We hope that you will see that the library and academic coaches are in a good position to provide you with support as you complete your classes.
We look forward to working with you by phone or online.
Ron Belbin and Larry Calkins
