Help with Research and Assignments

The library provides resources and services in an environment that fosters free and open inquiry and serves as a catalyst for the interpretation, integration and application of knowledge in LSC-O programs. The goal of the library instruction program is to promote information literacy by teaching students how to gather information using both print and information technology resources and to evaluate the relevance of information in all its forms. As a part of this goal, we encourage students to think critically about information in terms of its authority, credibility and timeliness so that they can use information to form judgments and justify decisions. These lifelong learning skills will serve LSC-O graduates in their future workplaces and personal lives.

Students and other library users who need help finding information can get help at the library help desks. Library staff are knowledgeable about specific library assignments and can help locate qualilty information on any topic in any format and also assist with citing information in appropriate styles.

Help is available by phone or by e-mail. Call either of our help desks at (409) 882-3082 or (409) 882-3982. The Ask A Librarian Form is available for questions via e-mail. We check our e-mail frequently during the day and will answer e-mails as soon as possible.

Help is also available in The Learning Center with math, standardized test preparation, writing assignments and computer application software. The Learning Center staff can help with other course assignments as needed. Stop by and discuss your needs with the staff or call (409) 882-3373 or simply e-mail them.
