Library
The Library provides students and faculty the opportunity to search for information using books, periodicals, and electronic resources. The library's collection provides support for the college's academic programs and opportunities for personal enrichment.
Computers are available with Internet access, GALILEO, Microsoft Office programs, and the Georgia Career Information System software. Interlibrary loan agreements allow students access to books and periodicals from libraries across the state to supplement the local holdings. Lanier Technical College has a reciprocal agreement with Gainesville State College to provide use of materials and computers for faculty and students.
Library services include reference services, bibliographic instruction, assistance with online databases, and media production. There are libraries at all five LTC campuses. The Oakwood library is open 7:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, when classes are in session. The Forsyth library is open from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Hours vary during quarter breaks and will be posted outside the library. The other three campus libraries are open while classes are in session. A librarian is available one day each week to assist students. Reference questions can be sent by email or phone to the Library Director at any time. These three campuses also have a special arrangement with the public library closest to them for assistance and for books related to their programs. Interlibrary loan is also available to all LTC students, faculty, and staff.
The mission of the Lanier Technical College Library is to support all areas of instruction offered by the college, providing facilities, resources, and services to all faculty, students, and staff. Through the use of its resources, the Library strives to encourage workforce development and life-long learning.
