Students taking Reserve books out of the library are charged an additional $2.00 per hour the item is not returned after closing.
The Library is still undergoing shelf maintenance as a result of the transition from Montgomery to Beckley. Certain Magazines, Newspapers, Reference materials, Reserve materials, Microfiche, etc., may not be shelf-ready or allowed for check out. Please check with library staff about items of interest.
You found a book you need, but the Tech library does not have it, and the ebook is not accessible. Or maybe it is an article you want, but Tech does not have the journal, or the electronic resource does not provide full-text access. What do you do? Use Inter-library Loan Services. You can request a book or an article from a participating library in-state or out-of-state.
To request items through ILLiad, Interlibrary Loan management system, you must first create an account to identify yourself in the system. Please use the link below to register. Once you establish an account your personal information remains on file and future submission will not be necessary. Your WVU email address will enable the Interlibrary Staff to notify you promptly about the fulfillment of your requests. Your personal ILLiad account also allows you to track your requests.
