Supporting Your Scholarship
-
Library Orientation
Stop by and learn about all the resources you and your students need to know. Teaching online? Schedule a webcam chat and we’ll take you on a virtual tour.
-
Find a PDF
If you have a DOI, Direct Object Identifier, or PMID simply enter it and access your article in full text. When articles are not available you will be presented with an Interlibrary Loan form.
-
Document Delivery
Looking for information to support your research and grant writing? We can provide it through Document Delivery, or borrow it from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
-
Research Consultations
The library provides 1-on-1 research assistance for faculty and staff. Your department's library liaisons are here to help you locate and access research materials, identify publication venues for your articles, and more.
-
Technology Consultations
Our librarians are more than just research specialists — they’re also tech-savvy educators. We’re happy to share our expertise in using tools like Google Apps for Education, Zoom.us, Camtasia, Prezi, and much more!

Course Reserves
Special items, journal articles, books, and personal copies to be used for particular courses may be placed in the Reserve Collections of any NYIT library, or scanned as E-Reserves. Current editions of major texts for courses will be held on reserve, where possible, each semester.

Resource Recommendations
Are we missing an important work in your field, or required text for your students? Help us build our collection! You can recommend the purchase of library materials.
-
Information Literacy Sessions
Want to improve the quality of your students’ research? Bring them in for an instruction session tailored to the course focus and the assigned research project.

Student Research Consultations
Assign students a library visit on their own time, we’ll work with you to make sure they get all the information they need.

Guides
With as little as a detailed syllabus, we can create and maintain a course, subject or topic guide that will be available to you and your students semester after semester.
-
Video Tutorials
We’ve prepared short videos to guide your students. Insert them into your courses. We are also happy to create a video just for you!
