 RLC LIBRARY CATALOG (iPAC)
The LRC is a cooperating member of the Shawnee Library System, which provides access to an online database of over 90 libraries with more than 1,000,000 titles. The online public access catalog, PAC, is the key to finding materials in the LRC and the Shawnee database. You can search in a number of ways including using keywords from the title or subject, as well as the more traditional author, title, or subject approach. Any member of the LRC staff can show you how to use the catalog and can help you locate materials; please ask for assistance when needed. Materials requested from other libraries are called interlibrary loans. Allow 3-7 days to receive materials from other libraries. A library card is required for placing holds.
The books in the RLC library are split into several collections. Book collections in the Rend Lake College Learning Resource Center are listed in the chart below which also shows where each collection is located and checkout limitations.
