Special Circumstances During the COVID-19 Crisis: Remote Resources And Guidance For Users: Lightner Library Remote Resources

Librarians are still available to students and faculty in a variety of ways that include:

• Emailing us at refhelp@keuka.edu with your questions;
• Using the Ask a Librarian link on the library's home page;
• Using the virtual chat box on Lightner Library's home page.  If there is no librarian available on chat, your question will automatically be emailed to refhelp@keuka.edu.

Lightner Library has many online resources that can be accessed remotely.  When accessing these electronic resources from off campus, the user will be asked to log in.  Logging in requires the user to enter the log-in ID and password used to access Keuka email.

Click on this List of Open Access Databases to access databases that provide content for free on the Internet.

Articles that students and faculty need that are not available through our databases may be requested on Interlibrary Loan and will be delivered electronically.  At the present time, physical books cannot be requested on ILL. For more information about Interlibrary Loan including how to set up an ILL account, you can check out the Interlibrary Loan LibGuide.

Now that the semester is over, please return your library materials, including Interlibrary Loan books, to Lightner Library.  You can mail them back, and you do not need a mailing label from the library.  Find a mailing envelope or box and address it to Lightner Library, Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY  14478.  When you take it to the Post Office for mailing, request that it be sent Library Rate which is cheaper than sending it first class.  

Check out the library’s collection of Library Guides, also known as LibGuides, which are available 24/7 to help you navigate the library’s resources.
