Increasingly, information is available in electronic format, either in addition to or in place of printed versions. The library's online catalog is available through terminals in the library and on the campus computer network. Some internet-based information is free. The library pays for links to several major resource collections, which are available to SUNY Potsdam people only - these are marked with special icons on our web pages. Workstations are available in the Reference Area and at Crane to access information on our web site, and on the internet in general.
Many additional databases are available by appointment.
Sometimes, but only for well-known books. What often can be found are reviews of a book. These will usually describe the nature of the book, and will often evaluate its quality. Some periodicals are only available in electronic form, through connections on the library's homepage. For more about periodicals see our web page on periodicals - Finding Articles .
