Learning Resource Centre

Gaurav Singh, Library Manager

As we hear the word “Library” a picture comes to our mind – a silent place with pin-drop silence, lots of books and a librarian with scary looks, but now the things have changed, and library is no more a place for only books but the library has converted in to a learning resource centre/ Library Resource Centre.
Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is a term which is used in the United Kingdom to describe a type of library that exists within an educational setting such as Secondary Schools, Further Education Colleges and Universities. LRC can also stand for Library Resource Centre and in some cases Learning Resource Centre has been shortened to Learning Centre.
Learning Resource Centers are similar to Hybrid library. Now, as a Learning Resource Centre, Libraries not only contain traditional educational resources such as books, journals, software and audio/visual materials, but they also exist to promote electronic information resources. Examples of these are electronic journals, databases, free websites and other web based resources. The traditional librarian’s role has been replaced with the LRC Manager who is an Information Professional.

Knowledge is growing at a fast pace and everyone wants to be up-to-date. Library Resource Centre can provide guidance with the right material made available efficiently and in a time-saving manner. Library Resource Centres are now a place for students to not only develop their reading habit but also gather information, inculcate ideas, and develop knowledge that is so essential to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge based society.
