Student Studying Notes

As a student at TMCC, you have many resources to help with your education. The Learning Resource Center (LRC) houses educational material for the programs and courses offered at the Pennington Applied Technology Center.

Textbooks and other course materials, computers, and supplies like calculators and staplers are all available to you at the LRC.

Textbooks in the LRC

The LRC has copies of some of the textbooks for your classes available for on-site use and some may be checked out for a one-week period. A TMCC student ID or Resource Center card is required to check them out.

The TMCC Bookstore provides information to look up the name of your textbook(s) if you need assistance.

Checking Out LRC Materials

General materials may be checked out and then renewed once for a period of time equal to the original loan period, unless the material has been requested by another person. You may renew materials by phone by calling in with your TMCC ID bar code number. 

Unreturned or damaged items may result in a fine equal to the replacement cost.

Reserve Materials

Reserve materials are items such as books and videos that instructors have placed in the LRC for student use. They are usually related to a particular course. Reserves are for in-house use only and may not be removed from the building.

Reserve materials that are not returned or are returned damaged may result in a fine equal to the replacement cost.
