Our Circulation Department provides services allowing you to checkout resources from our SUNY Niagara collections, other SUNY Libraries, and libraries outside of our SUNY Network. The Circulation Department is also the host location for Course Reserves.
Please see the information below; for placing course reserves for your students, or requesting access to materials through resource sharing and interlibrary loan. Whenever you're at the library ready to checkout resources, please bring your campus ID with you.

The Lewis Library encourages you to place textbooks or additional study material in the library on reserve for the benefit of your students.
You may place your personal copies or library resources on reserve. Course reserves are kept behind the Circulation Desk, alphabetical by course number. Whenever you let your students know about materials you have placed on course reserves with us, they can stop at our Circulation Desk and access the material(s). There are a few reserve items that may circulate outside the library overnight, or for longer periods of time. It is up to the discretion of each individual faculty or staff member; whether or not the reserve items may circulate, and for how long.
