LRC workstations provide curriculum, library, email, application, statistics, and intra/internet access. Computer printing, scanning, and imaging are available, Audiovisual equipment is present to support the AV collection. Thus, the LRC serves as a library based “academic computer center” for the institution.

Special request for workstation use of the PC Training room is scheduled on a priority bases, then on a first come first serve basis. Our PC Training Room has 10 computers and a presenter’s workstation. All of the computers have flash card capabilities. LRC staff will work with the requestor in preparing the PC Training Room to support the curriculum, administrative, GME, and/or training activity. This requires planning between the LRC staff and the requestor. To achieve this, the following policy applies:
