This guide is maintained in order to highlight and facilitate access to the many remote services that the SJNY Libraries provide as we offer virtual reference and research services to students and faculty to support distance instruction. Links and details for many remote library services are contained in this guide, and additional resources may be added as deemed appropriate. We can address questions regarding electronic & digital resources, including but not limited to e-books, streaming video, and other resources and services.
To enable contactless returns whenever possible, books may be deposited in the book return bin located in front of the circulation desk at the Callahan Library and in the circulation desk drop at the McEntegart Library. However, special non-print items (e.g., DVDs, test kits, laptops, video equipment) should be returned to a staff member at the circulation desk in order to be checked in upon arrival.
