Faculty & Staff - Library Cards & Loan Periods

Library cards are NOT needed to access the library's online research databases.

LIBRARY CARD:

To obtain your library card, bring a picture I.D.(your WNC employee I.D. is preferred) to either campus library Carson City or Fallon. 

Library cards are valid for as long as you teach for WNC. There is a $5.00 replacement fee for lost cards.

Library card benefits include:

* Borrow materials at any WNC campus library and from the University of Nevada, Reno.
* Order books or videos from other NSHE libraries and other libraries in Nevada (Interlibrary Loan).
* No limit to number of books that can be checked out.
* Courtesy email remainders are sent days prior to the book's due date as a reminder to renew or to return.   
 

TO CHECK LIBRARY ACCOUNTS ONLINE: 

Access library accounts online using your WNC Library account information. 

Faculty may check out books for a semester.   Videos/DVDs check out for 3 weeks use.

Books may be renewed once for an additional period of time, if not on HOLD by another patron, by:

• Clicking on the link in the email notice that is sent a few days before the item is due.
• Renewing online using your library account information. 
• Calling a campus library during business hours with your library card information.
• Bringing the items to the library's desk during business hours.
