This means that a librarian will search the databases for you whether you choose to be present or not. If you choose not to be present, your topic must be sufficiently refined with the librarian ahead of time. Fees for online searching include hourly connect rates, print charges, and telecommunications fees. For faculty, all of the fees are charged back to the faculty member unless arrangements have been made with the faculty member's department to supply funding. In this case, an appropriate fund transfer form, available in the Reference Department, must be given to the librarian conducting the search.
Appointments are necessary for online searches.
Search request forms and more detailed database descriptions are available in the Library's Reference Department . Workstations for L.I.U. faculty and students are also located throughout the libraries of Long Island University. A complete list of databases is available.
