Inside Library looking out

IRSC Libraries are the center of academic activity for students, faculty, and the campus community. The library is an integral part of the intellectual life on campus, and trained library faculty and staff can provide individual and group assistance and guidance.

IRSC students and employees can request items from libraries throughout Florida using inter-library loan. The Miley Library is also a U.S. Federal Depository Library. It receives many Federal documents of interest to the campus community and to the citizens of the Treasure Coast.

Information Literacy and Research Skills (LIS 1002) and Research Strategies for College Students (LIS 2004) are recommended one-credit courses offered each term to teach students how to find, evaluate, and integrate sources into their personal and academic information needs.
