Interlibrary Loan Update

Memorial Library is still processing article requests. Unfortunately, physical items are not loanable at this time. This process may take longer than usual as staff are working remotely so please be patient.

We are monitoring our ILL email, Interlibraryloan@cortland.edu so if you need to communicate with us, please do so by email rather than calling.

See our Library Resources during COVID-19 LibGuide (https://cortland.libguides.com/COVID-19) for further information.

The Food for Fines program runs from Monday, December 2nd through Friday, December 13th. Students may pay their fines by donating non-perishable, unopened, unexpired food in cans, boxes and plastic jars. Those who do not have fines are welcome to donate food.

Students will receive $1 off their overdue fine balance for each item of food donated. Replacement costs for lost or damaged books are excluded from this program.

Donations will be accepted during business hours at The Help Center in Memorial Library. The food will be delivered to the SUNY Cortland Cupboard located at the Interfaith Center.

Search Student Newspapers from 1925-2017 through the College Archives

The SUNY Cortland College Archives recently digitized the Co-No Press (1925-1942) and the Dragon Chronicle (2013-2017). These two Cortland newspapers will add to the collection of other digitized newspaper already available to you which include the Hilltop Press (1942-1971), Press (1971-1990), and the Dragon Chronicle (1990-2013). Researchers may now search newspapers from 1925-2017 using keywords and dates. All of these newspapers freely exist on NYS Historic Newspapers and Digital Commons@Cortland. This recent digitization project was funded through the 2019 Digitization Grant awarded to Memorial Library from the South-Central Regional Library Council.

You can always view the College Archives Research Guide for additional information as well.
