There are three main options for accessing books from the ground floor while this area is closed for mold remediation.

1. Search our catalog for an ebook version
2. Request a physical copy from another library
3. Search online for a free ebook version

1. Start on the Library homepage: https://library.newpaltz.edu/
2. Select the "Catalog" tab on the homepage and search for a book by title, author, keyword, subject, ISBN or call number. Hit the orange magnifying glass on the right hand side to search. 
3. Once on the search page, use the refiners on the left hand side to select "Full text Available Online" in Availability and select "Books" in Resource Type. Hit "Apply Filters" at the bottom of the Refiners list. 
4. The results page will now show E-books for your search terms. Browse the search results page and click on the title of an interested E-book. 
5. On the description page for the book, scroll to the "View Full Text" for a link to the E-book. 

There are two options for requesting a physicals book from another library. The first option is to see if it is available at another SUNY campus. If it is not, then we recommend submitting an Interlibrary Loan Request. 

Requesting from another SUNY Library

When you search for a book within our catalog, you may notice that it is listed as "not available." If this is the case, you can request the item through a service called SUNY Resource Sharing. 

1. Start on the record for the book you would like to access.
2. Scroll down to the "Get it" section right before the call number and click the "My library account" button to sign in. 
3. Sign in using your NP username and password.
4. Once signed in you will be brought back to the catalog record for the book. Scroll down to the "Get it" section again. Now you should see an option for "Request: SUNY Resource Sharing."
5. Click the "Request: SUNY Resource Sharing" button and a request form will pop up.
6. Double check the form to make sure the information is correct. 
7. Click "Send Request" at the bottom of the form to submit the request. 

Requesting through Interlibrary Loan

If the Sojourner Truth Library does not have the book you need for your research, you can make an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request for free. Our ILL system is called ILLiad (InterLibrary Loan Internet Accessible Database). ILLiad allows you to request items electronically and to track the progress of your request. If the request is attainable, ILL will order the item from another library. Books may take 1-2 weeks to arrive.

1. On the Sojourner Truth Library’s web site, under the "Services" tab click on "Interlibrary Loan." 
2. Sign into ILLiad using your campus network log-in credentials. If you are a first-time ILLiad user, you will be required to complete a registration form, and include a valid email address.
3. Once signed into ILLiad, you will see a menu on the left hand side. Choose the appropriate category under the "New Request" section.
4. Fill out all the required sections of the form to the best of your ability. 
5. Hit the "Submit Request" button at the bottom of the form once all the required information is inputted.
