The library will re-open in August. Even after we re-open, we will accommodate special needs because of the pandemic.

• Many resources are available electronically. This year, we will purchase e-books instead of print books whenever possible.
• For print resources, we offer a paging service, where we will obtain the material from the stacks for you and hold it at the front desk for pickup. For those who are working from home, we will also continue to offer porch deliveries.

Users who are using any type of computing device while on campus and connected to the campus network should not see any log-in prompts. When you are off-campus, you will see a log-in prompt the first time you access protected resources. After you log in, you will not be prompted to log in again unless you close your browser.

If you are having difficulty logging in, please read through these tips:

• Your login is your SBU user name (without the @bonaventure or @sbu part).
• Your password is your last name.
• Please e-mail ateng@sbu.edu if you have trouble logging in.  We can test your login, and provide you with a temporary login if necessary. If you are having a problem accessing our resources, we will keep working on the problem with you until it is resolved.◦If you were given special passwords for individual databases by a reference librarian, use the Library Database Password Access page to use these passwords.
• Noodletools log-in?  Use the individual account that you set up with Noodletools.  Once per year, if you primarily use the account from off-campus, you will be asked to authenticate to the SBU library account. This is a different log-in/password than the account you used to set up the service. If you do not remember the library authentication information, please e-mail ateng@sbu.edu and the information can be e-mailed to you. 

Due to COVID-19 visitor restrictions, we are unfortunately not able to welcome anyone into the building who is not a current student, faculty, or staff member. 

Please visit this page for more information on what our normal operating procedures are. We will return to these procedures once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

The librarians offer library instruction upon request for classes or student groups.

Faculty members can request a session for their classes, which can be held in person or online.

Students can also request an instruction appointment, for an individual or a class.

At the end of our sessions, we ask participants to fill out a short Project Outcome Library Session Evaluation Form

Friedsam Memorial Library is where you can find the resources needed for papers and projects. The library also offers group and individual study and work space, along with two computer labs, wireless printing facilities, and WiFi throughout the building. The Technology Services Help Desk is located on the main floor. If you need a quiet space, head upstairs to the top floor, which was designated, by student request, as the "quiet floor."
