Fall 2021 - Welcome Back!

The Fall 2021 semester is officially underway! Of course, the last few semesters have been anything but normal, and we're excited to see everyone's (masked) faces in the library this Fall! Read on for information about some of the awesome services provided by the DSLCC Library.


Books and Databases:

Our library is home to over 34,000 books. All you need is your Student ID in order to check out books for research or to just read for fun. The general book collection is located in the stacks area in the back of the library, and we also have a popular reading section located in the front. We also offer a variety of databases that house peer-reviewed journal articles to assist you in your research. Search our catalog here. If you need assistance finding books or articles, feel free to ask a library staff member!

Computers and Printing:

Computers with high speed Internet access are available to use free-of-charge, for students as well as community patrons, and are located throughout the library.

DSLCC utilizes a campus print system called WEPA - Wireless Everywhere Print Anywhere. A WEPA print station is located in the library. Printing costs are $0.09 per page for one-sided black & white; $0.17 for double-sided black & white; $0.35 for one-sided color prints; and $0.68 for double-sided color prints. You may purchase a WEPA print card in the library (cash only) or at the bookstore (cash, credit card, financial aid), or you can load funds directly to your WEPA account at wepanow.com.

Instructions for printing are as follows:

  1. Open your web browser and go to wepanow.com.

  2. Click the LOGIN button in the top-right corner of the page.

  3. Click the down arrow beside School, and choose Dabney S. Lancaster Community College.

  4. Enter your MyDabney username and password.

  5. Click Document Upload, located in the black menu bar, then click "Choose your file..."

  6. Use the pop-out window to find and select the file you want to upload.

  7. Select your print options (you may leave the options set to default in most cases), and click "Send print options."

  8. Write down your WEPA Code.

  9. Walk to the WEPA print kiosk and choose "I have a WEPA code."

  10. Follow the onscreen instructions at the kisok to finish printing your document.

Ask a Librarian:

Ask a Librarian offers you 24/7 support for all your research and online library service needs. Questions can be about focusing your research topic, beginning your search for sources, or locating more sources on your topic. If you have questions about how to use our online search features, you can ask these here as well.

Writing Center:

The Writing Center is located in the library and provides students with a friendly supportive team to help you succeed at college level writing. Our Writing Center tutors do not edit or proofread essays but instead focus on the ideas and content of essays. To make an appointment, email sburkholder@dslcc.edu.

Tutor.com:

Tutor.com is a free online tutoring service available to all enrolled students. Simply log in to myDabney, access your course within Canvas, and select the Tutor.com option.

Testing Center:

The Testing Center is located in the library and provides proctoring for tests and exams. If you need to take a proctored test for an online course or a make-up test for an in-person class, you may do so here. We also offer a sound-proof testing booth. The Testing Center is currently available by appointment only, with limited seating. To make an appointment, please send an email to DSLCCTesting@dslcc.edu.

Again, we're so excited to see everyone back on campus. We hope you utilize these wonderful library services, and as always, let us know if there is anything we can assist you with!
