LAMP Website
The library’s website,
LAMP (http://library.rcc.edu) provides
access to a wide variety of resources including the library catalog,
electronic resources via the library’s subscription databases,
and selected Internet resources. Important LAMP Features include:
General Information –
Provides helpful information regarding the libraries’ hours of
operation, maps, resources, library cards, etc.
Library Services –
Contains information on reference services, intercampus loan and copies,
and faculty services. You can also use “What do I have checked
out?” to see what materials you currently have checked out on
your card.
Library Catalog – The
library catalog contains records for items available in all district
libraries. Library materials include books, media (e.g., videos, CDs,
etc.), and course reserve items. A library card, which can be obtained
at the circulation desk, is required to check out any library materials.
The library catalog can be searched by SUBJECT, TITLE, AUTHOR, KEYWORD,
AUTHOR/TITLE, CALL NUMBER, and PERIODICAL TITLE. The course reserves
can be searched by instructor name or course title. Individual item
records will display the location, call number, and availability of
materials in the libraries for all three campuses.
Electronic Resources –
The Electronic Resources portion of the library’s website provides
a list of the library’s subscription databases. These databases
contain articles from magazines, scholarly journals and newspapers,
and information from electronic dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other
reference resources. These electronic resources can be accessed from
both on and off campus. Off campus access requires users to login with
a user ID and password, which corresponds to their University ID and
name.
Internet Resources –
Contains helpful guides and tutorials on using and evaluating Internet
resources, as well as subject directories of reviewed and evaluated
websites.
Library Cards
A library card, which can be obtained at the Circulation Desk, is required
to check out any library materials. This card can be obtained at no charge
upon proof of employment (staff ID). This card will expire upon termination
of employment. Faculty may check out a maximum of 50 items with the circulation
period being the end of the current session. These items are subject to
recall after three weeks. Items can be renewed for the same circulation
period as the initial checkout at the Circulation Desk or by phone. Reference
items, periodicals, microfilm, and some reserve items cannot be checked
out, but must be used in the library. A $1.00 fee will be assessed for
the replacement of a lost library card. Please refer to Board Policy 7036,
