This is the policy governing access by the public to State University of New York (University) libraries.
It is the policy of the State University of New York (University) that the public is given access to University libraries insofar as possible. Since implementation of this policy has fiscal and administrative implications, campuses may extend the facilities of their libraries to the public whenever it can be done and in a manner that is both fiscally sound and consistent with their primary educational mission.
Public access to the library collections is also available through interlibrary loan (including the New York State Inter-Library Loan [NYSILL] network), through the Regional Reference and Research (3R's) Systems and through local cooperative arrangements with other institutions.
