Electronic Library RLC LIBRARY CATALOG (iPAC)
The LRC is a cooperating member of the Illinois Heartland Library System, which provides access to the catalogs of 594 member libraries and well over 3 million records. 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.
