A Library Card gives you access to all library collections and subscriptions without ever having to visit the library in person.
 

Online Subscriptions: You now have access to 19 subscription databases providing access to more than 50 million full-text online: articles, papers, reports, standards, eBooks, audio books, book summaries and instructional videos. The library facilitates unlimited remote-access to subscriptions through special links on the Library Catalog and the Library Web Site.  These electronic collections are accessible to VDOT employees 24/7/365 from any connected device.
 

Physical Collections:  VDOT has one of the largest print collections of its type in the country, with more than 60,000 items in print and other "physical" formats. We have extensive P.E. Exam study collections, core publications from: AASHTO, ASCE, ITE and TRB, and comprehensive collections of VDOT manuals and guides. Borrow these and other items from our shelves 24/7/365 using any connected device.
