Academic Outreach Requesting Services Receiving Materials Interlibrary Loan Locating Materials
The Labette Community College (LCC) Library provides library services for all of the College’s students, including those enrolled in distance education courses or at extension sites. If a student is enrolled in courses and lives outside of Parsons, he or she can receive library services support.
Services provided to students enrolled in distance education courses are …
direct students to library resources closer to home or work,
provide brief telephone reference service related to course work,
conduct limited literature searches for research projects (upon approval from the instructor), and/or
photocopy or print articles from journals, course reserve materials, and limited pages from books.
There may be fees attached to some of these services. Please see Receiving Materials for information on fees.
We encourage students to:
Visit the LCC Library in person at least once during the semester.
Why?? Although staff can do literature searches and research, only students know what they really need. Serendipity plays an important role in research and students have more investment in their studies when they discover resources on their own.
Use local or area libraries for research as much as possible. If citations for articles or books owned by the LCC Library are found, the LCC Library staff can provide these materials through interlibrary loan. If citations for books or articles are found that the LCC Library does not own, it will save time by using the interlibrary loan services of the local public, community college, or college library.
Please submit requests in plenty of time to complete the project or paper. Some requests may take longer if materials are not immediately available.
Students may request services by mail, phone, e-mail, or FAX. A waiver form must be completed prior to receiving services.

The Library staff strives to fill requests within 24 hours. However, some requests may take longer if materials are not immediately available.
Loans:
Library materials may be put on hold for one week to be picked up.
Returns:
If returning books or other borrowed materials by mail, please send them by U.S. mail. If materials are returned by mail, please allow enough time to avoid late fees. Fines will be assessed on books that are not returned on time. Fine charges are ten cents per day per item.
If materials have not been returned from the previous semester and paid any related charges, the student will not be able to use outreach services until the record is cleared.
Copies:
Students will be billed for all copies and for postage and handling. All bills must be paid by the end of the semester for which a student is enrolled. Please pay by check or money order. No coins, please. The following charges apply:
Minimum copy charges per order $1.00
Additional pages will be charged at the following rates:
Photocopies $.10 per page
Copies from microfilms $.10 per page
Copies sent by FAX $.50 per page
If a student needs materials that LCC Library owns, the Library may be able to interlibrary loan them. These materials must be picked up either at the LCC Library or at the local library. A student will be able to obtain items that the LCC Library does not own faster by using the interlibrary loan services of the local library.
Periodicals:
Periodicals (magazines, journals, newspapers) in hard copy are housed in the LCC Library basement. Check the periodicals available on the database Web page at www.labette.cc.ks.us/library/Perlist.htm or email the Library for assistance in finding individual titles. Periodicals on microfilm are also housed in the basement. Email the Library for assistance with these items also.
Library Catalog:
Labette Community College Library uses an electronic library catalog, which is also available through the Library’s Web site. For access instructions, please see Accessing Databases Off Campus.
Electronic Databases:
The electronic databases listed on the LCC Library Web site are accessible on the college’s main campus and off campus. See Accessing Databases off Campus for additional access information.
Ask:
If a student needs help locating materials, finding resources, or doing research, don’t hesitate to ask — the staff members are eager to help. The Library also has an email reference service on the LCC Library Web site. Use this service to communicate with the Library about renewing materials, reference assistance, etc.
Library Cards:
All students are issued a student ID card when they enroll. Students must have either their LCC student ID when checking out materials. If the Library does not have a copy of your ID and a waiver on file, materials will not be checked out to you.
