Kitty Lindsey Learning Resources Center (Library)

Richland Community College is a member of a group of nearly 100 academic libraries in Illinois that allows each Richland student equal borrowing privileges across the campuses. Delivery of materials is free and occurs Mon. - Fri. This service means that Richland students have millions of items at their fingertips to complete their assignments successfully.  Richland Library books may be borrowed for 28 days, plus 3 renewals. Borrowers will not accrue fines for overdue items at Richland, and if an item is lost or damaged, a reasonable replacement fee will be assessed.

Reserve Shelf

This is where students might be able to check out a textbook and use it in the Library or at home. For students who are on a limited budget or who forget to bring their text to campus, the reserve shelf is a handy service. Graphing calculators may also be checked out for the semester.

Research Assistance

Professional librarians are on hand every day to help student locate and evaluate the sources they need to finish an assignment whether through books, articles, or websites. Librarians are also available through email at askalibrarian@richland.edu.

Internet/Printing/Scanning

The Library is the campus hub for these services. With nearly 30 workstations, two printers, two photocopy/scanners with pdf + email capability, the Library is centrally located for easy use by students in all disciplines.
