Learning Resource Center
Almost 17,000 books, periodicals and media products support the basis of an educational partnership with schools principals, teachers, staff, students, parents and the Library staff. Our collaboration insures that the Library contributes fully to the educational process and assists in the attainment of educational outcomes.
Technical Resources
The LRC computer lab supports a wide range of electronic media.
- research tools
- interactive learning activities
- free and subscription databases
Some of our online databases, including our Libraries' and Learning Resource Centers' union catalog can be accessed on and off campus by teachers, students, parents and staff. Additionally, we participate in the statewide Inter Library Loan program.
All visual media is accessible by caption, either signed English or American Sign Language (ASL). The LRC houses more than 6,000 captioned videos on subjects as diverse as science, history, math, sports, fine art, job skills, computers and language arts.
Instruction and Consulting
The Librarian and staff assist faculty and off-campus patrons by providing up-to-date professional materials, as well as some historic content. We retain archives of recent professional journals, as well as popular periodicals for student research.
In addition to supporting the curriculum and working to meet the needs of a diverse school community, the Librarian and LRC staff provides leadership, instruction and consulting in the use of instructional resources and information technology.
