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." Because the library is an academic co-working space, with users of all ages, alcohol and tobacco products are prohibited, per University policy.

THE BONA VENTURE

You can read the archives of the BV online (no registration needed).

BUFFALO NEWS

We are currently experiencing difficulties with our access to the Buffalo News, and new subscriptions cannot be processed at this time. The Jandoli School of Communication dean, Aaron Chimbel, worked to obtain digital access for SBU students, faculty, and staff to the Buffalo News as part of the News in Education program. The library is working with Dean Chimbel to see what we can do!

NEW YORK TIMES

As a student or faculty/staff member, you have free access to the New York Times through the library.

• For the New York Times: Visit http://nytimes.com/passes 
  
  Passes need to be renewed annually, using the link above.  Once you renew a pass, you may need to sign out of any devices where you read the Times and then sign in again so that your new pass lets you into all of the content you can access.
  
  
  

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. 

Currently the only materials that are available on electronic reserve are Integrated Marketing Communication Plan samples for the Jandoli School of Communication.

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.

We are an Empire State AcademicShare library. Therefore, AcademicSHARE Member libraries minimally agree to allow on-site access and lend materials to any current college student, staff, and/or faculty member from another Empire State AcademicShare member academic library. However, at minimum, a verifiable valid college I.D. is required. The library may choose to treat the college I.D. as confirmation the student/faculty member is in good standing. Other proof of identification or status may be required.

 In addition, WNYLRC libraries listed below have agreed to continue to provide services to InfoPass cardholders who are not AcademicSHARE participants.

These are the WNYLRC academic institutions whose libraries are participating :

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.

To request a session, please contact Ann Tenglund or fill out our library instruction request form. To see our current list of scheduled sessions, click here.

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