Aloha & welcome to Spring 2026! Here are a few updates on library services from the circulation desk staff.

Learning Commons & Library Hours

January 12 - May 15
Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm

Hours subject to change

Books & Media

Due to the 3rd floor renovation project, most of the library's collections have been placed in storage. A selection of library materials was relocated to the 2nd floor (main level). The eBook and DVD collections remain available. 

Mobile Devices

4-Hour Loan Laptops

The library has a self-service laptop kiosk for students to borrow Dell laptops for on-campus use. All they need is a smartphone to scan the QR code on the kiosk and log in with their UH username. 

Semester Loan Equipment: Laptops & Hotspots

We have a limited supply of laptops and hotspots. These devices will be due at the end of the semester (or when the class ends).

Loan Requirements:

  1. Home campus must be Leeward Community College (Pu'uloa or Wai'anae Moku). Early College students are ineligible.
  2. Must be registered for at least (1) Leeward CC course.

Please have your students contact the circulation desk at x210 or lcccirc@hawaii.edu for more information.

A question that frequently comes up is, "Is there any way I can use that database that (insert name of another UH campus) has that we don't?" The short answer is no. The terms of our subscriptions require libraries to only allow access by that library's users (i.e., a campus's students, staff, and faculty).

You might, in some cases, be able to physically visit another campus's library to use their database. But whether you actually can or not depends on how strict the database's vendor is.

Why are there databases that only some campuses have access to, if we're all part of one university system? Subscription fees are usually based on FTE — a measure of student enrollment at a campus. A database subscription that includes all campuses is therefore quite costly. Unavoidably, there are many specialized databases that are only subscribed to by one or a few libraries.

If there is a particular article that you are trying to find that's not available in one of our databases, please get in touch with us. We might be able to find another library that can send us a copy of the article, provided that we haven't tried to get a lot of articles from that publication before.

If there is a database (or book, video, periodical etc.) that you think we should acquire, please let us know and we will consider it purchasing or subscribing to it.
