provides local access to print materials; as well as, an array of
library services, all based on a collection of monographs and
periodicals. Currently, the library houses ten thousand monographic
volumes and subscribes to a variety of periodicals. Realizing the
informational needs of Our Lady of the Lake College may exceed the
collection, the College Library expands locally held resources by participating in
the Baton Rouge Hospital Library Consortium, which allows students to
use various hospital libraries around Baton Rouge. In addition, to
further extend information access, OLOL College students are extended
library privileges, which includes borrowing from Louisiana State
University through the Louisiana Library Network which also provides
access to the catalogs of all colleges and universities in the state of
Louisiana.

of appropriate learning resources in many formats, such as: computer
programs, video cassettes, CDs, slides and audio cassettes. In addition,
the media center provides computers designated for utilization by
students. These holdings and services are designed to enhance and to
reinforce classroom instruction and represent a diversity of
experiences, opinions, social and cultural perspectives.
