Onsite Resources
The EPIC Bible College Learning Resource Center/Library (LRC/Library) has open stacks of print and media materials. LRC/Library users are free to browse and select books or other items to read in the LRC/Library. LRC/Library staff can assist users in locating and retrieving an item if needed. Much of our materials are Circulating and can be checked out by current students, staff and faculty who have an EPIC ID card. Some materials are not housed in the LRC/Library rooms and will need to be retrieved by an LRC/Library staff member; this may mean a delay in access to wanted materials. If an item needed is not available, users may request an item through InterLibrary Loan (ILL). See LRC/Library staff for more details.
The EPIC LRC/Library has computers available for student use. Students are able to type papers, reports and other homework assignments, or e-mail professors from these computers. Students are also able to search the internet for research information.
Electronic Resources
In addition to actual print resources present in the LRC/Library, there are electronic resources available to current students, staff and faculty on the LRC/Library student computers as well as on the computers in the Computer Lab . These electronic resources include PC Study Bible, a variety of music software, EBSCO E-Books and various periodical research databases such as ATLAS (scholarly theological journals), Christian Periodical index (CPI), GALE Contemporary Authors (biographical and bibliographical data on modern authors), GALE Opposing Viewpoints in Context (social issues and a range of perspectives on many debated topics), Readers Guide (H.B. Wilson comprehensive current events), and Religion and Philosophy Collection (RPC). Destiny, our online electronic catalog database, is available through the link at the top of this page. The Dewey Decimal Classification System is used for searching items on Athena or locating books and other materials in the LRC/Library.
