Request Materials

Request an item from a Metropolitan community college campus library or Omaha Public Library.

MCC items: You may request that a book, DVD or other item owned by the Elkhorn Valley Campus, Fort Omaha Campus or South Omaha Campus libraries be sent to another campus for you to pick up. This includes the Applied Technology, Fremont and Sarpy centers.

Omaha Public Library items: You may also ask that an item owned by Omaha Public Library be sent to a MCC campus library. Please note that you cannot request Omaha Public Library items for pick up at the Applied Technology, Fremont or Sarpy centers.

MAKE AN ONLINE REQUEST WITHIN THE LIBRARY CATALOG

NOTE: This option is only available if you plan to pick up your material at a campus library: Elkhorn Valley Campus, Fort Omaha Campus, South Omaha Campus. Do not use it if you wish to have items sent to the ATC, Fremont or Sarpy centers.

  1. Search for the item in the MCC/OPL library catalog (WebPAC)

  2. Click on the title, then click on Request (link in the upper left)

  3. Log on to your account. If you have an OPL card you can use your OPL barcode and PIN. Otherwise, provide your MCC ID and PIN:

    • Precede your ID number with an M.
    • Your ID number must contain seven digits. Add leading zeroes if necessary. Example: M0001234.
    • Your PIN defaults to either your birthdate (mmdd) or the last four digits of the telephone number you provided to MCC. It is not the same password you use to access My Way or student email. [Don't know your PIN?]
  4. Select your campus pickup location

  5. Click on the Submit button

  6. Be sure to log out when you are finished (link in upper right)

 

Allow two working days for your material to arrive from a MCC location and one week from OPL. If the item you requested is already checked out, you will be placed on a waiting list.
