It depends on the topic, but the Finding Primacy Sources research guide is a great place to start.

We also offer a video tutorial on finding primary sources in the Le Moyne Library.

Your personal librarian is the librarian for your major subject area of study at Le Moyne. You can find your librarian by subject on this list, and you can learn more about the personal librarian program. If your major is undeclared, Kari Zhe-Heimerman is pleased to serve as your personal librarian!

Do you know the database you need to search?

Try viewing the Databases by Name.

Not sure what database will fit your topic best?

Take a look at Subject Guides.

Have an article citation (partial or full) or just a journal title?

Search for the journal title in the Print and Electronic Journal Title List. Then look for a link to a full-text provider service that will link you to the contents of the e-journal. If the journal is a title we have in print, head to the shelf.

You can use the Citation Linker to search for an article using a full or partial citation.

Can't find a specific article in Le Moyne's collections?

Request it through Interlibrary Loan.

 

For more information, visit the Find Articles Research Guide.

Most of the workstations in the Library can print to the networked printers using your print quota. To access these workstations, you must first log in using your campus network username and password.

Four of the six workstations nearest the Library Service Desk can print to the printer adjacent to them. The other two workstations, which are for guest access and requires no login, are for quick look-ups and are blocked from printing.

In addition, all of the computers near the IT Service Desk, located in back of the library, are set up to print to nearby networked printers.

For more detailed instructions, visit the "Printing in the Library" help guide. For technical assistance, contact the IT Service Desk or call (315) 445-4579.

The preferred way to scan or make copies of documents, books, or any other material is to use the Public scanner, located on the first floor of the Noreen Reale Falcone Library. The IT Service Desk has a one page handout, "How to Make Copies in the Library" with brief instructions. For more details, consult their guide, "How to Use the Public Library Scanner to Make Copies" (requires campus login).

Most of the research materials, including databases, e-journals, e-books, streaming video and audio, etc., that the Library subscribes to are available off-campus to members of the Le Moyne campus community. When you try to access a library resource from off-campus, you will first be prompted to login to the Library proxy server in order to prove your affiliation with the College. You can login using either:

1. Your Username and Password from your Le Moyne Computer Account.
2. Your name and barcode as it appears on your Le Moyne ID card.

Once you have logged in, you will be able to access the resource as though you were on-campus.

For more information, read the "Off-Campus Access" help guide. There you will also find a handy bookmarklet that you can use to push the page you're on through the proxy server. This is useful to find out if links you have found through Google are available through a Le Moyne Library subscription. 

Library books can be renewed online or in person at the Library Services Desk.

To renew online, sign into your Library Account. You will sign in using your Le Moyne email username and email password or your name and the barcode number from your campus ID. The two login methods are shown below.

From there you can view the items you currently have checked out and select renew all or renew selected items.

A color laser printer is located near the IT Service Desk on the first floor of the Library. The printer can make double as well as single-sided copies. The cost is 15¢ per printed side and is charged against your paid printing account in your Dolphin Dollars eAccount. You can not use your free print quota for color printing.

Students can print to the printer from all public computers in the library. Select LIB-HP500M551DN (Library Public Color Printer) from the print menu. You can also print to the color printer from your mobile device or laptop using the College's Papercut printing service.

Contact the IT Service Desk for assistance (servicedesk@lemoyne.edu or call (315) 445-4579).

For more information on your free print quota or on adding funds to your Dolphin Dollars eAccount, visit the "Printing in the Library" help guide or read campus IT's "Printing On Campus" document.

Eduroam is the recommended secure wireless network available to students and employees throughout campus. This network is intended for most laptops, phones, and tablets that support WPA2-Enterprise/802.1x encryption. Most personally-owned devices will store login credentials and automatically connect when the network is within range. A benefit of using the Eduroam network is that your laptop or device should automatically connect and authenticate when you travel to another college or university that uses the system. IT has instructions on how to connect to Eduroam for

• iPhones and iPads
• Android devices
• Macintosh or Windows computers

For technical assistance with configuring your personal device to use the eduroam wireless network, contact the campus Information Technology Service Desk at 315-445-4579 or email servicedesk@lemoyne.edu.

For more information about Eduroam or how to obtain guest access to the network, visit the Library's "College Wireless Network" guide or IT's "Connecting to the Internet" guide.
