The Learning Resource Center (LRC)
supports the instructional and research missions of both the School
of Allied Health Sciences and the School of Nursing by facilitating
independent and group learning experiences. The LRC has acquired and
maintains a well-rounded collection of innovative media/multimedia
teaching and learning resources including computerized instructional
software, video tapes, audio tapes, and printed materials.
Located on the first floor of the SHP/SON
building, the LRC provides students with two laboratories each one
containing twenty PC computer stations. These computers are
available for individual use or for classroom use. Class times
scheduled in the labs are posted on Monday of each week along with a
notice of those times when both computer labs have been reserved for
classes at the same time. These computer laboratories provide
state-of-the-art educational materials including health information
system simulations, word-processing software. Students can access
TexSearch, Medline, and Clinical data bases as well s their UTMB
e-mail box and the Internet in these laboratories. Free dot matrix
printing is available. Laser printing is available at a nominal
cost. A Computer Service Specialist is available in the LRC to
assist students using the computer labs. The LRC also has a six
station Macintosh laboratory, six group study rooms equipped with
slide and video projection hardware, and a room with individual
study carrels for ten students.
A constantly rotating set of print
materials including lecture notes, handouts, and articles is
available in the Reserve Section at the Front Desk. Students are
asked to request reserve materials using the course number and
instructor's name and are required to leave a student identification
card at the Front Desk whenever using any of these materials. Two
copy machines provide copying services for a nominal fee. These copy
machines can be used to make transparencies also. Students wanting
to copy non-copyrighted audio tapes can use the two high speed audio
tape duplicators located just inside the front door of the LRC. Free
duplication of video taped lectures is available through the LRC
Front Desk.
