Learning Resource Centre is a term, used in the United Kingdom to describe a type of library that exists within an educational setting such as Secondary Schools, Further Education Colleges and Universities. LRC can stand for Library Resource Centre and in some cases Learning Resource Centre has been shortened to Learning Centre. Learning Resource Centres are similar to a Hybrid library; these centres contain traditional educational resources such as books, journals and audio/visual materials, but they exist to promote electronic information resources. Examples of these are subscription electronic journals, free websites and other web based resources; the traditional Librarian role has been replaced with the LRC Manager, an Information Professional with qualifications recognised by CILIP. As well as managing the physical environment of the LRC the LRC Manager is involved in editing LRC web pages and making contributions to the Virtual Learning Environment, in order to provide access to quality and timely resources to colleagues and students.

A key aspect of a Learning Resource centre is the application of self study in a variety of different ways. They include computers, places to study and private rooms. LRCs have a responsibility for the teaching of Information Literacy and/or Study Skills within the institution they are in. Although this role is established in further and higher education, it has only become a serious responsibility for the Secondary School LRC since the publication of Key Stage 3 National Strategy in 2003; the schools inspectorate OfSTED have made this a key area for school LRCs to evaluate themselves on in their self-evaluation document for LRCs in 2003.

Wilson, being interested in religion and only known as a medicine man, sought out a path to be a peyote roadman in 1880; as the Ghost Dance ceremonies regained popularity in Oklahoma, he became one of its most active leaders in the Indian Territory. During a two-week period, Wilson consumed peyote for spiritual reasons and said he was shown essential astronomical symbols representing the life of Jesus Christ; these messages became part of his own teaching, which remained reliant purely on peyote.

He recalled that Peyote spoke to him, telling him to keep indulging in, to keep walking in its "road" until the day he died of the peyote to create a higher enlightenment. The tribe had been exposed to the Half Moon peyote ceremony, but Wilson introduced the Big Moon ceremony to the tribe; the Caddo tribe remains active in the Native American Church today. He is the single human most known for the changes to the peyote ceremony, his changes to the altar, unintentionally persuaded the image of the cross in Christian churches. Wilson died at the age of 61 in 1901. Stewart, Omer Call. Peyote Religion: A History. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993. ISBN 978-0-8061-2457-5. Swanton, John Reed.
