Online Programs - Cincinnati: WC OnlineHome

WC Discover: Watson Library's online catalog of books, ebooks, and videos. Searches both our library collection and all OhioLINK.  

A-Z Database list: a comprehensive list of all databases provided by Watson Library.

To request books in WC Discover, you must be signed in - we use single sign in, so you will authenticate through your Microsoft Office 365 login information. The sign-in option is in the upper right corner of the screen, and you will also be prompted with a banner to sign in so you get complete results. 

Once you are signed in, you will see the option to "request a copy" of any book that is available. The default for WC Discover sends a requested book to Watson Library for pickup, but you can change the location to any library in OhioLINK. To pick up requested books from the OhioLINK library closest to you: 

When you want to request a book, select the request a copy button. 

Under pickup location in the request form page, select the library where you want to pick up the book. (There will be a  drop-down list.) 

You may be asked to "refine the offer" - click the refine the offer link and you should then be able to submit the request.  

When a book you've requested arrives, you will get an email sent to your WC email account, letting you know the book is available to pick up. 

When picking up your book at another OhioLINK library, you will need to have your library card number ready. You library card number will be your ID number with enough zeroes in front of it to make 9 digits. EX: if your ID number is 123456 your library card number is 000123456. 

You can get to Wilmington College’s Watson Library Website in 3 ways:

Locating eBooks from the Watson Library site:

• Watson Library has more eBooks in our collection than we do physical books on the shelves, and they are accessible from the library catalog, WC Discover.
• To search for eBooks in WC Discover, set your search to "books" and the location to "Watson Library", then search by author, title, or general topic. When WC Discover returns a list of search results, there will be a "filter results" option on the left-hand side of the page. Select "available online" to see only eBook results. 
• Ebooks in WC Discover all have a View online link. Some ebook publishers, such as Safari, have a link on the first screen to Buy from Publisher. As long as you are a Wilmington student and the book is in WC Discover, you have access to the text and there’s no need to purchase it. 
• Each eBook publisher’s content looks slightly different. Some publishers have different extra tools than others, such as bookmarking or email functions, but most all of them are searchable.  
• Ebooks can be used by many students at the same time. No special e-readers are required, just your laptop or other device.
• For more assistance navigating eBooks, see our eBook Access Tips and Information page.
