The Library provides
students and faculty the opportunity to search for information using
books, periodicals, and electronic resources. The library's collection
provides support for the college's academic programs and opportunities
for personal enrichment.
Computers are available with Internet access, GALILEO, Microsoft Office
programs, and the Georgia Career Information System software. Interlibrary
loan agreements allow students access to books and periodicals from
libraries across the state to supplement the local holdings. Lanier
Technical College
has a reciprocal agreement with Gainesville State College to provide
use of materials and computers for faculty and students.
Library services include reference services, bibliographic instruction,
assistance with online databases and media production. There are libraries
at all five LTC campuses. The Oakwood library is open 7:30 a.m. until
9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, when classes are in session. The Forsyth
library is open from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Hours vary during quarter breaks and will be posted outside the library.
The other three campus libraries are open while classes are in session.
A librarian is available one day each week to assist students. Reference
questions can be sent by email or phone to the Library Director at
any time. These three campuses also have a special arrangement with
the public library closest to them for assistance and for books related
to their programs. Interlibrary loan is also available to all LTC
students, faculty, and staff.
The mission
of the Lanier Technical College Library is to support all areas
of instruction offered by the college, providing facilities, resources,
and services to all faculty, students, and staff. Through the use
of its resources, the Library strives to encourage workforce development
and life-long learning.
