Theological Studies: Get Started

Eight Steps to Get Started at the Library

Connect your personal laptop and some other wireless devices to Library resources at the University of Waterloo through Eduroam. Once you have connected to Eduroam on our campus, you can connect while on university campuses in many parts of the world.

Many University of Waterloo electronic books and databases are accessible only when you have signed in with your WatIM. When you are off campus, you will be prompted to Get Access from Anywhere.

W Print is the pay-per-page University of Waterloo printing system. Payment is by WatCard. The Milton Good Library printer (located in the niche beside the universal washroom) uses this system.

To put funds on your WatCard:

  1. Don't wait! Load even a small amount now so that you won't be caught short when needing to print a paper in a hurry.
  2. Add funds online using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Visa Debit, or MasterCard Debit, or see the WatCard frequently asked questions page for other ways to add funds
  3. Note that funds can not be added at the Milton Good Library desk.

To print using W Print:

1.  Go to the W Print website
2.  Sign in using your WatIAM userID and password
3.  Select Web Print and click Submit a Job
4.  Select a VIRTUAL printer, depending on your needs and then click the Print Options button:
    Black & White double sided – rs-public-BW-vx
    Black & White single sided – rs-public-BW-vx-s-s
    Colour double sided – rs-public-Colour-vx
    Colour single sided – rs-public-Colour-vx-s-s
5.  Enter number of copies, and then click Upload
6.  Upload your documents (drag and drop or upload), and then clicking Upload & Complete
        (Microsoft Office or PDFs only).
7.  To finish: go to the photocopier, tap your WatCard, and release your print job
8.  Print your files – either individually or by clicking     Release All.  Printing will happen instantly.
