Student Access
Dual credit students have access to both physical and electronic (online) resources available through LSC-Montgomery Library. Students will need a Lone Star College library barcode to access these resources. 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.
Electronic Resources
All of the library's online resources, with the exception of the web resources, require a library barcode, PIN (last four digits of the patron's phone number), or an LSC student username and password. To learn more about getting a library barcode, click on the information below.
Physical Resources
Many of the library's physical items may be requested via the library catalog and delivered to a local public library for pick-up. Click on "Requesting Items from Other Locations" or "Requesting Items Not Found in the Catalog" below for more information.
Librarian Access
High school and other learning resources staff are provided a LSC Library Barcode to assist DC students in accessing LSC Library resources to complete their assignments. High school librarians and support staff are encouraged to contact LSC Librarians for support, training, or to recommend resources to support dual credit students.
For questions regarding the library barcode, please contact the LSC-Montgomery Library service desk at 936.273.7387.
To better help you assist your dual credit students, we would like to provide you with a library barcode that will give you access to the LSC-Montgomery research databases. The barcode number will be sent to your email and is for librarian use only to support dual credit students in completing their college assignments.
To request a library barcode contact Stefanie Anderson at Stefanie.N.Anderson@lonestar.edu.
Requesting Items from Other Locations
If you did not limit your catalog search to a specific location your results will display all books, eBooks, CDs, and DVDs that are owned by all Lone Star campus libraries, Montgomery County Public Library, and the Harris County Public Library systems. These items may not be available on the shelf at LSC-Montgomery, but you can request the item through the catalog. This process is called "placing a hold".
Once you have located an item in the catalog, click on the title of the item to view the item record for more information. The information provided depends on the item; however, at the bottom of the record there will be a list of the libraries that have the item and the availability of the item.
If you have located a resource that is currently checked-out or is held at another location, you can place a hold on that item and designate where you would like to pick up that item. To place a hold:
You can see these steps and more by viewing the video below.
Requesting Items Not Found in the Catalog
If an item cannot be found in the library catalog or in the research databases, LSC students, faculty, and staff may request to borrow the resource from a library outside of the LSC consortium through the interlibrary loan (ILL) system by completing the interlibrary loan form. The general public has the availability of using ILL services via their local library where they hold a library account.
There are no guarantees that the resource desired is available or will be received by a certain time. Most ILL requests take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the item, availability, location, and shipping.
LSC-Montgomery resource guides are developed by LSC-Montgomery librarians and feature the resources available to LSC-Montgomery students. They provide your dual credit students with resources to help them get started on research assignments for their dual credit courses. These guides include recommended databases, ebooks, and reliable web resources. Dual credit instructors and high school librarians may request custom guides to support a course or specific assignment. To request a Course/Assignment Specific Resource Guide contact Stefanie Anderson at Stefanie.N.Anderson@lonestar.edu.
The Dual Credit Student Academic Support Services guide was specifically designed to help dual credit students access available resources and services.
In addition to the resources available at your high school, dual credit students have access to the academic resources and research assistants available at the LSC-Montgomery Library. These resources are summarized for students on the Dual Credit Student Services guide. 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 from your high school, home, or other favorite place to study.
