Returning Items

ILL Books

As the Semester is drawing near its end and with many Students & even Faculty leaving the area until the Spring Semester, we would like to remind you that you need to return items checked out of Memorial Library and from Interlibrary Loan.

Please note:

  • All outstanding book loans can be returned using the bookdrop located just outside the front entrance of the Library.
  • Books can be returned to other SUNY campuses if they have a bookdrop available.
  • If you are not on campus for the semester (or have other concerns) please send an email to library@cortland.edu to discuss your specific situation, including fines on overdue notices; contact Interlibrary Loan at Interlibraryloan@cortland.edu
  • Items that are returned (particularly ILL items) will not come off your account until we are able to process them. You will not be fined for late items in this circumstance.

Thank You Student Workers

The Help Desk

Memorial Library would like to thank our student workers!

Without our student workers, we would not be able to open up the library for nights and weekends during the pause or even the semester. We are very grateful that they were able to return and assist us in providing access to the library and its resources. 

Thank you!!!

Here is one project the College Archives are currently working on…

We are looking to preserve your stories!

The College Archives is seeking to document the different experiences of faculty, staff, students, and alumni at SUNY Cortland during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The project is titled COVID-19: The SUNY Cortland Stories. These experiences will be preserved by the College Archives and made available on Digital Commons@Cortland publicly. We are interested in learning more about your stories. Experiences related to COVID-19 may include personal and professional reflections or even photographs. However, these materials must be original work, reproductions or third-party materials are prohibited from being submitted. It is important to preserve these materials so that in the future we may reflect on this unique and difficult time.

Guidelines on how to contribute to this project

  • You may submit using this form. https://sunycortland.formstack.com/forms/college_archives_covid_19_documentation_form
