| The Library/Learning Resources Center
Housed in a modern, two-story, electronically equipped
facility, the Library/Learning Resources Center (L/LRC)
combines the traditional library concept with audio visual
equipment and instructional materials and adheres to guidelines
of the American Library Association (ALA) Standards for
Junior Colleges.
An electronic catalog-circulation system offers efficient
access to the L/LRC collections, which include over 51,000
books; approximately 5,830 reels of microfilm; 61,500 microfiche
cards; 3,200 audiovisual items; and 350 current periodicals.
Several computer based information tools are available,
including magazine, journal and newspaper indexing / full-text
systems and reference sources. The center's resources exceed
the minimum standards for two-year colleges established
by the ALA.
Offering photocopy machine services and audio and video
listening and viewing facilities, the center also provides
access to computers, ADA computers and some types of learning
equipment.
The Library/Learning Resources Center is open Monday through
Friday, with evening hours Monday through Thursday, and
Saturday mornings and afternoons when classes are in session.
Media Services
The Media Services Department provides video production
services to all areas of the College. The department produces
video programs for College at Home and other Distance Learning
courses, for classroom support and for promotional materials
for the College. The department also provides the downlink
for all satellite teleconferences.
Technology Learning Center
The Technology Learning Center (TLC) is designed to assist
VSCC full-time and adjunct faculty with the integration
of technology into the teaching and learning process. Located
on the second floor of the Library/LRC in room L-201, the
TLC is equipped with the latest computer-related equipment
and is staffed by qualified support personnel. The Center
provides the opportunity for faculty to learn, in a hands-on
environment, the technology tools needed for instruction.
Training sessions on the latest hardware and software are
available in small groups or one-on-one sessions. The TLC
is open from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and nights and weekends by appointment.

Academic computing facilities at Volunteer State are available
to all faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students.
It is the responsibility of Academic Computing Services
to provide an environment for all users to accomplish their
necessary tasks and at the same time provide security for
all computer systems. All Academic Computing users will
be governed by all federal, state, and Tennessee Board of

clinic, bookstore, Public Safety office, Student Government
Association office and the Division of Student Services.
The building also houses student publications room, faculty
and administrative offices, classrooms and conference rooms.
Approved groups may contact the Office of the Vice President/Dean

for meetings or other approved activities.
