The Klamath Falls Library is located in the Learning Resources Center (LRC) on the Oregon Tech campus in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The Library's main collections are located on the first floor of the LRC, with administrative offices, group-study rooms, and the Shaw Historical Library located on the second floor.
The Library contains approximately 140,000 books and bound periodicals, and subscribes to over 1,200 periodicals. Resources and services include an online catalog, 90 online databases, federal and Oregon state documents, interlibrary loans, classes, tours, and seminars. Microform readers-printers and copy machines are available, as well as over 40 computer workstations are available for public use.
The library offers a variety of study spaces from enclosed individual or group study rooms to individual study carrels where you can quietly cram for your next quiz. There are comfortable seating options and more traditional desks and chairs. We try to offer something that will fit for everyone.
The Oregon Tech Library is a part of the Orbis-Cascade Alliance. 38 colleges & universities across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho form this consortium. You may request items through Summit as an Oregon Tech student and they will be delivered to the Oregon Tech Main Campus Library in 5-7 business days. Or, if you are near a college in The Alliance you may go to that college and check out the book as a "Visiting Summit Borrower." Available Summit items may be searched for and requested via the OIT Library online catalog.
Getting to the Library
To the Klamath Falls Campus:
Come onto Campus Drive from Hwy 97/Crater Lake Highway. Pass through a traffic light, a traffic circle, and soon after, turn right onto Campus Dr. (just past the Hospital). Turn right to the parking lot to get a parking permit from the parking services booth.
To Campus Safety and Parking Permit booth:
Getting to the Information Booth (Parking Lot D) requires you to turn left (go west) on Campus Dr. until the stop sign. Then (and this is the tricky bit) you turn left, BUT DO NOT GO INTO THE HOSPITAL’S PARKING LOT! You continue going west on the eastbound lanes until you get to the entrance to Lot D.
To the Oregon Tech Library in the Learning Resource Center (LRC):
The Library is located at the back of the campus. After obtaining a parking pass, pull out to the right to the stop sign. Continue straight ahead until the road dead ends, take a left, follow this road and curve to the left so you are going west on College Way toward the Upper Klamath Lake. After the softball field and immediately after the track field, turn left onto Danny Miles Way. The speed limit is 15 mph. Come straight ahead and park in the back of the library (Parking Lot K). There is a handicap ramp at this library entrance and the loading dock to help you identify the building. After walking up the stairs or making use of the handicap ramp, enter through the double doors. You are entering on the second floor. There is an elevator on the right. Press "1." After exiting the elevator, turn to the right, go through the power-assisted door into the lobby, and the library entrance is on the right side.
To the Shaw Historical Library in the Learning Resource Center:
After arriving at the Oregon Tech Library and entering at the entrance nearest to the back loading dock, you are on the second floor. There is an elevator down the hall on the right. Continue past the elevator, turn right and the Shaw Historical Library entrance will be just ahead, a few steps past the staircase leading downstairs.
