The Electronic Reference Station area, on the seventh floor of the Library, allows access to databases in a variety of formats including CD-ROM and the Internet. There are over 300 databases available via EBSCOhost, InfoTrac, OCLC FirstSearch, ProQuest, SilverPlatter and STAT-USA.
Registered borrowers with a valid borrower's card for the New York State Library (NYSL) can access many of our subscription databases remotely, from home or work, via our Online Databases, Indexes and Reference Sources page.
NOVELNY Databases is a pilot project initiated by the New York State Library to provide the people of New York State with free access to full-text, online, commercial databases through their libraries. Libraries in New York State that are members of a New York State library system may participate directly in NOVELNY to the extent permitted by negotiations and contractual limitations.
Individuals can access these databases via their local public library; contact your library to find out how.
