LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER (LRC)
Trinity Valley Community College has a Learning Resource Center (LRC) on each of
the campuses to provide academic support systems for all students. These centers
are located on the first floor of the Ginger Murchison Learning Resource Center
building on the Athens campus, in the Anderson Building on the Palestine campus,
in the M. L. Risinger Learning Resource Center building on the Terrell campus, and
in the Administration Building on the Health Science campus.
In addition to the four campus LRCs, remote access to the library catalog and online
databases is available for all students, including those enrolled in distance education
and off-campus instructional sites. Support is available (either in person or
virtually) to any group or individual student who seeks assistance with any of the
services provided by the LRC.
Generally, all campuses have study areas, circulating books, reference books, digital
books, reserve materials, coin-operated copy machines, newspapers, computers,
periodicals, print and electronic journals and access to online databases. Books are
classified by the Library of Congress Classification system and housed in open
stacks. Online public access catalogs are available in each Learning Resource Center
for searching the collection. For orientation, training and information about online
services, see the library staff.
