Many of our subscription databases contain full-text articles, but if your search turns up some citations to articles that seem relevant, but whose text is not available online, you can probably get the article from the Library. You can check Excelsior , our online catalog, to see if the Library has the book, journal, or other item you're looking for, and even request it electronically . If we don't have what you're looking for, we can try to obtain it for you through interlibrary loan. If you are doing work-related research, Library staff can conduct database searches for you. If you want to learn more about a particular database, check out the Tool Tutorials schedule .
All classes are FREE and open to all New York State employees.
We can answer questions for you. Our Reference Desk staff can answer questions and even help you with work-related research. You can ask a reference question in person, over the phone, or online. If you have a visual, reading or other eligible disability, we can lend you talking books or braille books. You are eligible to receive recorded or braille books through the Talking Book and Braille Library if you have a visual or other physical limitation that prevents reading printed materials, or holding a book, or turning its pages.
