Dual credit students have access to both physical and electronic (online) resources available through LSC-Montgomery Library. Students access these resources with a LSCS library barcode. The library barcode is printed on the back of the LSC Student ID card, but students who are not able to visit campus to get a physical ID card can request their barcode number via email.
