Las Positas College Library will help students who are looking
for information on topics that are not available in local high
school or public libraries.
The students must plan to come to do their own research. They may not send
someone to do it for them. We will assist and teach them how to use our resources
as time permits.
Students should plan to photocopy short articles or chapters (10 cents per
page). Advanced Placement students may arrange to get a short-term library
card and check out materials, if they find pertinent lengthy materials.
Visiting student researchers may use the Library Lab computers for research
only. Because the Library Computer Lab is designed for LPC student use, a librarian
must help visitors get past the initial screen to get to the catalog and databases.
There is a fee for printing from any computer. A PRINT FEE CARD can be purchased
from the Bookstore (discount card) or from the card dispenser in the Library
(not discounted). Information from LPC databases may be downloaded to disk
or emailed home to avoid print fees.
Information needed for short-term library cards (one month):
Please call in advance of your visit to give the librarians
a chance to work out the details with you to make it a pleasant
and productive experience.
Students may park in the Student Parking Lots and purchase a Daily Parking
Permit $2.00 each visit; there are no free parking spaces. Tickets are issued
for parking in improper spaces or parking without the daily permit.
For more information you may call or e-mail one of the reference librarians
at LPC Librarian .
