About the Day Learning Resource Center
Dedicated in 1995, the Day Learning Resource Center was initially furnished and equipped through the generosity of Mrs. Lilybell M. Day in memory of her husband, Charles E. Day, 1907-1988. The Center offers students and faculty in the USI College of Nursing and Health Professions access to audio-visual media, online resources such as the Internet, e-mail, computer-assisted and interactive video instruction, wordprocessing, and other computer applications. It also provides a quiet area for independent and group study. The Clinical Skills Lab, an important part of the Day Learning Resource Center, is a dedicated area where nursing and other health professions students can learn and practice the various clinical skills required by their chosen profession.
