To reserve a laptop, submit the WCC Laptop Request & Borrower Agreement Form. A staff member will contact you by the end of the next business day to schedule a pickup appointment. Appointments are available on weekdays between 9 AM - 3:45 PM.

Placing Requests Online (WCC students, faculty, and staff)

Log in to the Library Catalog to place a request for a locker checkout (Request This Copy) or to Request Partial Digital Scan. 

Placing a Request Through a Librarian (UH & WCC students, faculty, and staff)

Contact a WCC librarian via phone, text, email, or chat. The librarian will work with you to determine if a digital scan or pickup is best.

• If just a few pages or chapters are needed, Library staff will scan them and email them to you in PDF format.
• If you need more than a few chapters, the staff will check out the item to you. They'll place it in a locker by the Library entrance and give you a pickup time and the code to open the locker. 

Pick-Up Lockers

Pickup Lockers are to the left of the library's main doors.

The library staff will tell you or email you a locker number. To open your designated locker:

1. Enter the last 4 digits of your UH ID Number.
2. Press and hold the Lock-Unlock button in the lower right corner of the keypad.
   The dial will click clockwise to the upright and open position.
3. Lift the handle up, then pull the door open.
