The LRC, like many libraries, has an actual library resource course taught by faculty librarians. At UWSP this course is called Library Resources 101, and it is specifically for students on campus. The course is designed to instruct students on how to use and benefit from the library's resources. There are numerous sections, which are offered each academic semester, and occasionally during the summer terms. This is a one credit elective course. It can be taken online or in person at the library. Throughout the fall, spring, and summer semesters, informal BI sessions are taught in the LRC. They are taught by faculty librarians on an "on demand basis." Community patrons are allowed to use the LRC, but are restricted to certain areas and are instructed to follow specific rules. "Undergraduates" may check out stacks books for four weeks. They are allowed one renewal of the book for an additional four weeks. "Graduate students" may also check out books for four weeks, however, they are allowed unlimited renewals if there is no hold on the material they wish to renew. Faculty are allowed to check out books for an entire term and are allowed renewals after that time period.
