Services for Students

Computers
Computers are located along the southeast or rear wall of the LRC.

Electronic Journals
A-to-Z manages our electronic journals providing users with a single, comprehensive online list of over 15,000 journals and eBooks. You can browse an alphabetical list or search by keyword. Browse Electronic Journals »

Group Study Rooms
You can reserve group study rooms for groups of three or more at the Circulation Desk. One or two people can use a room, but groups with reservations have priority (i.e. you can be bumped out of a room).

Holding LRC Material
Can't find one of our books, journals or AV programs? Fill out a hold request form and the LRC staff will locate the material and notify you when it is available. (Also available at the Circulation Desk.)

Interlibrary Loans
If you require a journal article or book that is not available here, you can request it by filling out an Interlibrary Loan Request Form. (Also available at the Circulation Desk.)

Journals
The Journals Holdings List identifies all the print journals held by the LRC and their locations. Copies of the list are available on the index tables, at the reference computers, and at the circulation desk. If the LRC does not have the journal article or book that you need, ask LRC staff for assistance. Interlibrary loan service (borrowing from other libraries) is available, as well as directions to nearby libraries that have the material that you need.

Microfilm
The microfilm reader/printer is located west of the photocopiers. The LRC keeps some older journals on microfilm. The microfilm is stored in the beige cabinets between the reader/printer and photocopiers.

Photocopiers
Photocopiers are to the right as you enter the LRC. The copiers use your student ID or separate copy cards which are available from a machine in the photocopier area. You are responsible for observing federal copyright law. Please help maintain the copiers in good condition by keeping staples away from the copiers and by closing the lids gently.

Radiological Learning Laboratory (Room 115)
The Radiological Learning Laboratory is available for viewing X-rays. Group study rooms also have X-ray view boxes. Ask for X-ray packets at the Circulation Desk.

Recommendations
Do you know a good book or AV program that the LRC doesn't own? Recommend it for purchase by filling out a Recommendation Form. We will try to purchase it if funds are available. (Also available at the Circulation Desk.)

Reference Services
The LRC faculty and staff can help you use the LRC. Contact the reference librarian or the student reference assistant if you wish to schedule in-depth instruction for yourself or a group (e.g. how to search a database, how to search the catalog). 

Other Services
Reserve materials including anatomical models, board reviews, and the Academic Bulletin are available at the Circulation Desk.
