How Do I...

You can search on your phone too. Go to the library's home page (https://library.sunyacc.edu/home). Do a search, then:

  • On the results screen, you can also click All Resources and limit to Print books, Articles, E-books or Videos. 
• To find a scholarly article on your phone: choose "Refine Your Results" > "Peer-reviewed Journals" > "Apply Filters."
