Food for Fines

Posted on by

Memorial Library is offering a unique way for students to pay their overdue library fines while helping people in need.

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

Posted on by

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.

New Library Search Interface is Here

Posted on by

Memorial Library is now using a new library search interface. ONESearch (using Primo VE) was adopted by all of SUNY as our Librarys’ new discovery service.

The new interface has several features that we think will appeal to faculty and students alike:

  • Mobile-friendly (re-sizable) design, integrated with MyRedDragon
  • Videos, books and databases integrated in one search tool
  • Easier to search for items in special locations such as TMC or Course Reserves
  • Allows users to save and label favorite searches or articles
  • Simpler access to books and other physical materials in the SUNY system

We have a LibGuide with information regarding its many facets. It can be found here – https://cortland.libguides.com/onesearch

The Library will also be doing a sandwich seminar Wednesday, September 11th in Jacobus Lounge of Brockway Hall from 12:30 – 1:30. There we will demonstrate the new ONESearch, its new features and how to obtain materials from other libraries.
