Checking Out WCSU Materials

To check out a book or recording, bring the item(s) to the Circulation Desk at the Ruth A. Haas or Robert S. Young Library. A valid CSU ID is required to borrow library materials. Registered students may obtain a WestConnect ID card from the WestConnect Office located in the basement of Old Main. Materials will be checked out electronically to your account number and stamped with the date on which they are due back in the Library.

Borrowing from Other CSU Libraries

Faculty, staff and students at any of the four Connecticut State University campuses (CCSU, ECSU, SCSU, or WCSU) may use the library collection at any of the other campuses, either by visiting these libraries in person or by requesting their local campus library to obtain materials for them. If you visit another library in person, please be sure to bring a valid ID if you wish to check out material.

CSU faculty, staff and students may request books electronically through CONSULS, the Connecticut State University Library System. CSU faculty, staff and students may request books from the other CSU Libraries by selecting Request Book at the full record or title list display in CONSULS. The system will prompt you to type your student ID number, and your library PIN #. Be sure to select a pickup location before clicking on the gray bar at the bottom of the screen to initiate your request. If you need help in establishing a library PIN #, please contact the Haas circulation desk at (203) 837-9100. Please allow 4-5 working days for delivery to the WCSU Circulation Desk.
