LTRC = Louisiana Transportation Research Center
TTEC (pronounced T-Tech) = Transportation Training and Education Center

LTRC is sponsored jointly by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and by Louisiana State University.
"LTRC's goal is to merge the resources of state government and universities to identify, develop, and implement new technology to improve the state's transportation system. LTRC combines the efforts of DOTD and the state's universities to find innovative solutions to Louisiana's transportation problems."

I'm Sandy Brady, the librarian at the new LTRC - TTEC Library. I worked in the reference department of Middleton Library, the main library here on LSU’s campus, for almost 12 years. All of those years have given me extensive experience helping people with research on just about every topic, including transportation. I will admit it is not my strongest subject area, but I am learning, and have an extensive network of people I can call on for help if need be.

Until recently, publications have been housed on open shelves in the LTRC halls, in storage buildings, and hiding in offices and workrooms. When the TTEC building was designed and built, a space was included for a Library! Gradually all of those scattered materials are being moved into the library so that things can actually be found and used.
