The library web site includes floor plans along with the pictures and descriptions of the main facilities, services and resources available in the building. Visitors to the site may select features from the floor plans to see the related pictures and descriptive information. Viewed sequentially, these descriptions form the "stops" on a "virtual tour" of the library that is available at any time and place through the World Wide Web.
The guide to various subjects, prepared by experience reference librarians can be very helpful when doing research. The most popular guides are available in paper near the reference desk in the library, including the citation style guides such as the APA Style Guide. The guides and many more are available online at: http://www.brockport.edu/~library3/guides.htm.
Specialized, custom database searches are available for faculty and students where appropriate. Inquire at the reference desk.
