the learning resource center
The Learning Resource Center (LRC) is the campus
library for participants attending the EMI, NFA, and
other training and education programs delivered at
the NETC. The LRC provides current information
and resources on fire and emergency management
subjects. With its collection of more than 100,000
books, reports, periodicals, and audiovisual materials,
the LRC facilitates and supports student and faculty
research and supplements classroom lectures and
course materials.
The LRC routinely supplies answers to simple
requests—such as an organization’s telephone
number and address, a publication’s source and price,
etc. In response to more complex subject inquiries,
the LRC staff will conduct literature searches,
compile bibliographies, and, depending on copyright
restrictions, provide documentation in the form of
reports and articles.
The LRC is closed to the general public. Only NETC
personnel, faculty, and students may visit and
borrow material. However, via interlibrary loan
9
(http://www.lrc.fema.gov/lrcwebillinfo.html) through local
libraries, the general public can access most of the
LRC’s collection. Additionally, the LRC’s Online Card
Catalog is available to the public for searching at
http://www.lrc.fema.gov.
When classes are in session, the regular schedule
of hours is Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m.
to 9 p.m., and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST/EDT.
Specifically in support of the NETC curriculum, the
LRC is open some weekends and evenings. Please call
ahead when visiting the LRC at these times.
