VTC Card and VIVA Cooperative Borrowing

As a CNU student, faculty, or staff member you are able to borrow materials from libraries at other area colleges and universities that belong to the Virginia Tidewater Consortium (VTC) for Higher Education.  BEFORE you go to another library, you must fill out a short VTC application and obtain a borrower card at the Circulation Desk in the Trible Library.  You must present the VTC borrower card and your CNU ID at a member institution library in order to borrow materials.  The VTC cards are good for one semester.

The VIVA Cooperative Borrowing Program allows students, faculty, and staff at CNU to go to participating libraries to borrow materials on-site. The link contains a list of VIVA Member institutions, their status in this program, and what is required to verify current student, faculty, or staff status once you get there.

Printing

Faculty and Staff will need to have Captains Cash on their CNU ID's in order to print or photocopy in the library.  You may do this online or at the kiosk located in the DSU.  Printing and copying costs are $.10 per black & white page and $.25 per color page.   Scanning to email is available for $.10 per job.
