LIBRARY RESOURCE CENTER INFO
Organization and Development
The Library Resource Center (LRC) meets patron needs through the development of
a curriculum-based collection of print and non-print materials. The Center
provides resources to students through two collections: physical, campus-based
holdings and electronic resources via Amberton's website. The Library Resource
Center's professional staff provides assistance to students and faculty for all
the Center's resources through orientation programs, research training, document
delivery, and reference assistance.
Campus-Based Resources
The physical LRC contains an extensive specialized collection of research
materials that support the degrees and courses offered at Amberton University.
In conjunction with the faculty, the Center continually identifies and acquires
new print resources and audiovisual materials for meeting faculty and student
needs. The Library Resource Center houses reference materials, including books,
journals, indexes, and abstracts. Patrons use the on-line public access catalog
system to search the circulated collection. A technologically advanced computer
lab, available to currently enrolled students, is located in the Center. The lab
is designed for conducting on-line research through the University's high-speed
data connection.
On-Line Resources
The LRC on-line resources can be accessed from a link located at the top of
every page on the University's website. These resources provide links to many
electronic databases, on-line journals in both full-text and abstract format, as
well as electronic books. Users can search the University's holdings through the
on-line public access catalog system in addition to the vast amount of
information available through the Internet. All students, whether visiting
on-campus or connecting remotely, can access TexShare indexes, area libraries,
search engines, research tutorials, and information about library services.
