The Learning Resources Center

The Learning Resources Center continues to provide a highly technical centralized facility to serve the total University community. The Center provides equipment and software for the needs of those academic departments which reflect changes in curriculum development. Many of these curriculum changes directly affect the growth and direction of the University in the community and the state . As the emphasis of the University shifts from the traditional educational areas of the curriculum to the more professional and technical oriented areas, the center will attempt to meet these needs by acquiring the appropriate equipment and resources to meet the requirements of course offerings and the special demands of students. The emphasis of the center is on "service" to both the students and faculty . The center has a philosophy of openness and is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. (203) 392-5713
