Curbside Pickup for Library Material

Posted on by

While the building is currently closed, SUNY Cortland’s Memorial Library is providing curbside service to assist the campus community to safely access materials. All students, faculty and staff are welcome to request materials in the Library’s physical collection and through Interlibrary Loan.

An appointment will be set for a socially distant pickup. Items processed through curbside pickup will be checked out to patrons when they are picked up. Items from the library’s physical collection that are not picked up within seven days of scheduled pickup will be returned, and the hold on these items will be cancelled.

Please see the guide for more information on requesting items.

Students: Participate in Transformations via new Library initiative

Posted on by

Memorial Library invites any student participating in the Transformations Undergraduate Research Conference 2020 to share their research with the campus, via a new library initiative.

Because of COVID-19, the Transformations Undergraduate Research Conference cannot happen in person; instead it will be hosted online on Memorial Library’s Digital Commons platform. The submissions will go live on May 13th.

Students who had planned on participating may submit their research papers, posters or slides as described here: https://www2.cortland.edu/events/scholars-day/digital-commons

Note that the deadline for submission is May 6th. Please contact digitalcommons@cortland.edu with any questions.

Interlibrary Loan Update

Posted on by

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.
