Research Help
In addition to the resources available at the LSC-Conroe Center Library, LSC-Conroe Center students have access to the academic resources and research assistance available at the LSC-Montgomery Library. The library is located in the STAR Center (Building F, 1st Floor); however, many of the resources and services are also available online and can be accessed off-campus.
As an LSC-Conroe Center student, you have access to both physical and online resources available through LSC-Montgomery Library. Students access these resources with a library card number. The number is printed on the back of the LSC student ID card. Students who are not able to visit campus to get a physical ID card can request just the library card number via email.
How to Get a Physical Library Card
Library cards (student ID cards) are issued at the Service Desk of the library. Both LSC-Montgomery Library and LSC-Conroe Center Library offer this service. No appointment is needed, but be sure to check our service hours before stopping by.
You will need the following to get a card. If you have any questions, contact us at 936.273.7387 or MC-STARCenter@lonestar.edu.
- LSC student ID number
- Proof of current registration in an LSC course
- Photo ID
How to Get a Library Card Number
If you are unable to come to campus, you can request a library card number be issued to you via email by filling out the following form: lonestar.edu/library/card.
Note: If you require immediate access to the library's online resources, you may access the databases using your LSC email & password. However, you may be required to login anew to each database and you will not be able to access campus-specific databases without a library card number.
