If you are registered in a Distance Education course, place a request
for books, kits and videos/DVDs by following these steps:
- Go to the VCC Catalogue.
- Login to your library account
using your student ID and password. For help signing into your library
account, please see our myVCC help pages.
Note: While logged into your library account, please take a moment
to confirm your mailing address and make any necessary changes.
- Once you have successfully logged in, search for
the material you want to request.
- Click the Request Any Copy button
to place your request.
Note: when you find an item you want to borrow, its availability
will be listed at the top of the record. If an item is unavailable,
you can still place a request and you will be added to the request
queue for this item.
- You will be prompted to enter a user ID
and a pickup location. Your user ID is your Student ID Number (e.g.,
000345679).
- Select a pickup location from the drop down list.
- A Ship to Me option will appear
at the bottom of the drop down list. If you cannot come to the library
in person, you can select Ship to Me.
Note: If the "Ship to Me" option does not appear in the list,
there are two possible reasons:
- You did not login to your account before you began your
search; or
- You appear in our system as a regular student rather than
a Distance Learner. If this is the case, make sure you use
the following link for the catalogue: VCC
Catalogue with Shipping Option.
- Repeat steps 3 to 5 to search for and request
any additional materials you would like.
- Once you have finished placing your request(s),
you can on click the
link to review your Requested Items list.
From here, you can
- See your Place in Queue. If you are number
1 in the queue, you will get the next available copy. If you
are further now the list, you will have to wait until previous
requests are filled.
Note: If your request does not seem to be moving up the queue,
feel free to contact the library. The item you requested may
be missing from the collection or long overdue.
- Cancel items from the list if you no longer need them.
If you are not registered in a Distance Education course but cannot
come into campus, please use this special link to the catalogue to
enable the shipping option: VCC
Catalogue with Shipping Option. Using the catalogue
link from the library homepage will not give you this option.
If you are having trouble logging in and making requests through the
VCC Catalogue, you can email requests to a VCC librarian using Ask
Us. All email requests must include:
- Your name.
- Your full mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address
(if available).
- Your barcode number or Student ID number.
- The title, author, publication date, call number and campus
location of item.
