Logout

While WACS uses timed leases to ensure that the ability to access the material is not left open indefinitely, it's generally a better idea to terminate the session explicitly so no one who comes to a computer (or gets the same dynamically assigned host address) straight after you gains unintended access to the WACS system. This can be done from the main menu using the logout option; this basically terminates your lease early and will require a re-login with valid credentials to access the site again.
