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 multiple times a week. This service means that Richland students have millions of items at their fingertips to complete their assignments successfully. Books may be borrowed for 28 days or longer, and borrowers will not accrue fines for overdue items at most of these libraries including at Richland. If an item is lost or damaged, a reasonable replacement fee will be assessed.

Reserve Shelf

Students might be able to check out a textbook from the Reserve Shelf and use it in the Library. 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. Ask at the Circulation Desk for assistance.

Research Assistance

A professional librarian is on hand to help students locate and evaluate the sources they need to finish an assignment whether through books, articles, or websites. The librarian is also available through email at askalibrarian@richland.edu.

Internet/Printing/Scanning

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

Quiet Study/Study Rooms

Students looking for a quiet place to study will find it in the Library. Study rooms can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
