LSC Library Resources
Did you know that all of your dual credit students have access to LSC Library Resources? Dual Credit students can request a library card, learn about academic integrity, find course materials on reserve, search the library catalog, request books, find articles in research databases, and explore research guides.
Getting Your Barcode
You will need an ID card with a barcode on the back to access the library databases. If you do not have one, follow these steps to get a barcode from our library via email.
- Go to this link to fill out a barcode request: is http://www.lonestar.edu/library/card.htm#card .
- When you fill it out, put that you are an instructor in the comments section, and choose Tomball as your campus.
- They will email your barcode and assign you a pin, which you can change yourself later if you choose.
Getting your Students' Barcodes
We know that many Dual Credit instructors will use the library for research. While students are able to use the library databases, they will have to login using the barcode on the back of their LSC student ID/library card. If students do not have an ID, they can request a barcode online by going to this site. Students will receive their barcodes in their myLonestar email; however, if students do not check their MyLonestar email, they can forward the myLonestar emails to their personal email addresses by following these simple steps.
Instructions for forwarding MyLonestar email to personal email address.
- Log into your myLonestar account.
- Check the top left to make sure you're on your student tab.
NOTE: If you are only a student you will not have tabs. The current page will be your student page. - Scroll down to the Quicklinks.
