Library Policies

Welcome

Welcome to the Learning Resource Center (LRC). We invite you to explore the variety of information resources made available by the LRC to support your educational and professional needs at WITC. Library staff encourage your questions and will assist you in utilizing the vast array of electronic, print, and audiovisual resources available. Our commitment at all WITC campus locations is to service your information needs and to assist you in becoming an empowered library user.

Who May Use the LRC

Students (including Youth Options students), faculty, and staff of WITC may use the LRC materials and services. Identification cards obtained through Student Services/LRC staff serve as student library cards. Community members may check out materials by providing proper identification and by filling out a form available at the circulation desk.
