Southern Union has a library/Learning Resource Center (LRC) located on each of the three college campuses; Wadley, Valley, and Opelika. The purpose of the Learning Resource Centers is to complement the academic and technical programs of the college as well as supporting the stated institutional goal to encourage life-long learning. Students have access to the collection through our on-line public access catalog (AG-Cat). This system allows students to search all LRC sites simultaneously. Through AG-Cat, students can locate materials by author, title, subject, or keyword search. Researchers also have access to many licensed full-text, on-line databases through the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL). Students can access the AVL from any computer on campus (http://www.avl.lib.al.us) and by a remote access card obtainable from any of the three LRCs.

The collection of all three LRC sites includes over 82,000 physical volumes, as well as local, regional, state, and national newspapers; academic journals and magazines. A student or instructor may request any format of material from either library with a minimum of three working days notice. Photocopy machines are available to users in each library, as well as reference services, course reserves, and library instruction.

Students must obtain a Southern Union Student ID prior to borrowing (checkout) materials from the collection. These IDs are attainable from any of the three LRC’s where the first card and renewable cards are provided at no cost to students. Lost or stolen cards carry a small replacement fee. Faculty and staff employees also have borrowing privileges at any of the three LRC’s. All libraries prohibit the use of cellular telephones, loud talking, food and beverages.
If you have any questions concerning library policies, available resources, or Alabama Virtual Library, please contact our librarian Kathy Reynolds.
