Catalog Descriptions
Below are decriptions of the catalogs represented by the tabs at the top of the page. If you're not sure which one to use, check here first.
FM Catalog - The FM Catalog gives to access to the materials (books, videos, etc.) that are located here at the Evans Library (FM).
All SUNY Libraries - The SUNY Union Catalog allows you to search all of the libraries of SUNY’s 64 campuses all at the same time. You can also search individual campus libraries (including FM’s) if you would like. This catalog is good for search for materials you know FM does not own. You go to many of these campues and borrow materials directly by using the Direct Access Program. You can also request materials from these libraries thought Interlibrary Loan.
WorldCat - WorldCat lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world. It is very useful when you are looking for a specific book and for requesting materials through Interlibrary Loan.
Local Public Libraries - Similiar to the SUNY Union Catalog, this catalog allows you to search all local public libraries at the same time. You can also search individual public library catalogs if you would like.
netLibrary - Provides access to 1,405 e-books on a variety of subjects.
Reference Books - The Credo Reference Collection is a general reference collection. Its full-text, aggregated content covers many major subjects from the world’s best publishers. It has a lot of neat tools and features to help you find your information.
Encyclopedia Britannica - The online academic version of the famous encyclopedia. Lots of neat features. Great place to get background information on possible research topics.
Humanities E-Books - A collection of over 1,700 full-text titles. Great resource for History and English classes.
SUNYPress - A collection of books published by the SUNYPress between 2000-2006. This collection is available online only to SUNY faculty, staff, and students (like you).
Newset Titles at FM - We are always adding to our collection. Find out what the newest titles are by using this tab.
