Location - To get to campus, see Directions and public transit information.  The Learning Resource Center is close to the academic entrance to the college on the Clawiter Street side of the property. It is the first door on the right. Visitors entering the campus through the Health Center can follow the main hallway to the last door on the left. For an introduction to the facility, start with the visitors’ guide.

 

Facility - The learning resource center encompasses the library's book, audiovisual, imaging, and journal collections. This spacious facility has seven study rooms with large windows. It houses reference and study areas, audiovisual production and viewing areas, a computer laboratory, and an imaging laboratory. Visitors are welcome to browse, watch videos, and to use the reference workstations. The laboratories are reserved for Life West students.

The self-service copiers accept "copycards” sold at the bookstore, as well as coins and bills. In order to add value to the “copycards”, use the vend units attached to the copiers.

 

Staff - Reference librarians, the computer educator, and audiovisual  technicians are available weekdays. The computer lab is staffed during evenings and weekends as well.
