Resource Center Policies
Checkout
The CRPRC is in a constant state of change. Since we operate on limited funding and donations, materials are only for reference, not for circulation. The Hay Media Resource Center (MRC) and Kennedy Library offer options for checkout if this is necessary.
Environment
Students have and continue to facilitate a clean and welcoming environment. Based on principles for libraries of the 21st Century, the room functions as a, "Second Living Room" on campus to promote educational well-being. Since we are committed to enhancing student success, the room is also available for use 24 hours a day. The door code is available if needed and can be provided by the CRP department office. Please call 805-756-1315..
