Top 10 Things
To Know About Your Library
- ID + Barcode = Library Access
Your LIU Student ID card (with a barcode) is your Library
card. Once you've had a chance to catch your breath, you'll need
to stop in with your student ID and get a barcode.
- Look for the ABC's and then the 123's
College libraries use an alphanumeric classification system. It's
different from your high school or public library. Just remember,
books on similar subjects are shelved together. So, when you find
one really great book, browse for other gems!
- The Library is here for you 24/7!
The building itself is open 86 hours a week, and our
electronic resources. never sleep. They're available anytime, but you'll
need that barcode.
- We have Books, Journals, Databases...
With 1.2 million volumes, remote access to
25,000 e-books,
and over 400 library databases, you're good to go!
- If we don't have it, we'll get it!
Stop by the Reference desk or visit Interlibrary Loan
on the web.
- Electronic Reserves are here!
Readings assigned for your classes are often on Electronic
Reserve (ERes).
- It's your library - use it!
Use it to study, do research, catch-up with friends, work on
group projects, or just sit back, relax, and have a cup of coffee
and a snack from our new Bookmark Café.
