Library Services and Collections

The Library supports the academic success of LC State students and faculty by providing access to a wide range of resources, services, technology, and study spaces. The collection includes over 55,000+ print items and more than 91,000+ digital resources—such as eBooks, journals, newspapers, and magazines—as well as over 124,000+ streaming media titles. Special Collections feature materials on the Pacific Northwest, children’s and young adult literature, K–12 curriculum resources, and the College Archives.

To meet research and curricular needs, the Library subscribes to key academic databases. Interlibrary loan services are available for materials not held in the collection and are offered to LC State students, faculty, and staff.

Technology available includes desktop computers, 15 laptops for checkout, Wi-Fi hotspots, in-building Wi-Fi, wireless printing, a color printer, scanners, and bookable 8 study rooms.

Library hours are posted on the Library’s website and at the building entrance. A WarriorOne card (LC Student ID) is required to check out materials.

The Library Advisory Committee meets twice per semester and includes faculty, a student representative, and campus stakeholders. The Library is a member of OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), NIAL (Network of Idaho Academic Libraries), and the NIH (National Library of Medicine).

Research Assistance and Instruction

Librarians offer guidance, teaching, and support to students, faculty, and staff in utilizing resource materials, whether in print or electronic form. They provide personalized instruction to aid in research, including crafting research strategies, identifying resources, and evaluating their quality. Research Appointments can be scheduled either online or in person. Additionally, the Library provides online tutorials for self-paced, in-depth learning, and students can seek research assistance at any time using the "Ask a Librarian!" service.

The Library employs a variety of instructional methods to help students develop the full range of information literacy skills needed to succeed in their courses and meet the expectations of their future employers. Together with division faculty, the librarians develop instructional sessions and subject guides.
