Summer Session Hours 

To use library resources on campus or online, every student needs a library card.  This card allows students to borrow materials from the library, to access library databases from off-campus computers, and to request materials through ILLiad, the Library's inter-library loan service.

• To obtain a library card in person, go to the library's circulation desk at either the Auburn or Fulton campus. You will need a photo ID and proof that you are currently enrolled as a student. Your library card will be issued while you wait. 

• If you are an online-only student and you do not visit either campus, click on this link to apply for a library card and request access to databases. Your library card will arrive in the mail in a few days.

Books and Media at this Library:  To obtain a book, audiorecording, or videorecording owned by this Library, or borrowed through Inter-library loan, students must visit the Library and check-out the material using a library card.

E-books and Periodical Articles: Many of the databases available through the Library contain full-text articles from books, magazines, newspapers, and journals.  To search databases and obtain articles from off-campus computers, students must log-in with the user name and password issued by the Library.

Books, Media and Periodical Articles Not Available at this Library: To obtain books, media, and copies of periodical articles that are not owned by this Library, and are not full-text in a Library database, students may request materials using the ILLiad inter-library loan service.

To obtain a book, audiorecording, or videorecording owned by this Library, students must visit the Library and check-out the material using their library cards.

If you are attending another college while enrolled in an online class at Cayuga, or if you live near another SUNY college, it may be more convenient for you to use your local college library to borrow materials.

Books, media, or periodical articles not owned by Cayuga Community College libraries may be requested through the ILLiad Inter-library Loan Service.

If you have an ILLiad account, click the logon button.

If you need to create an ILLiad account, click the "First Time Users" button.

Reference librarians are available during business hours to help students with research questions.

Students may call the reference desk, email a message, or IM the Reference Desk using the Meebo on the library website.

If you send an email message or IM asking for assistance, please be specific about your request:

• what class are you taking?
• what is the assignment?
• what types of resources can you use?
• where else have you looked?
