General Overview of
Niagara University Library
The Library, located on the south end of the campus, offers an array of services
and collections that will make your research easier.
Do Research 24/7 From Your Dorm, Home or Office
The Library provides remote access through the World Wide Web to most of its databases, which means you can access millions of magazine, journal and newspaper articles.
The Library's collection consists of 200,000 books and 15,000 periodical titles in print and electronic formats that support your research needs. We also offer a recreational collection with entertaining novels and DVDs. Your University ID card is your library card, and you may borrow and keep out 25 books at a time.
Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery
If the Library does not own an item you need, we can almost always obtain it for you from another library. We'll even deliver copies of articles to your desktop. Or, you can get a special card from us that will allow you to check out books from other college libraries in Western New York.
There are three group study rooms in the Library. Two of the rooms have a television you can use to watch DVDs and videos.
You can eat and drink in the Library. Vending machines are located on the second floor.
The Library can send or receive your personal faxes up to 10 pages in length.
The Library maintains a Computer Training Lab on the basement level. When it is not being used for training purposes, it is available for you to work individually using Library databases, the Internet or Microsoft Office. There are additional computers in the Reference Department that you can also use. Black & white and color printers are available. You can also bring your laptop to the Library and connect to the wireless campus network.
During the school year the Library is open 95 hours per week.
Reference librarians are on duty all hours the Library is open. You can also reach us via email or phone. Subject specialists are available to help you with research in your major.
