NU Librarian Availability

Niagara University Library's reference librarians train students to use Library resources to their fullest. Through personal attention and professional training, students learn to conduct research themselves and solve research problems.

Our instruction for your class can include:

• assistance with developing your assignment
• tailoring our instruction to what the students are currently working on
• a pre- and post-assessment to see what knowledge was gained

For more information, or to schedule an instruction session, see our Faculty Guide to Library Instruction.

Borrowing

As an employee of Niagara University, your University ID card serves as your Library card. If you don't already have your ID card, you can get it from the IT Helpdesk in the Glynn Hall Annex.

More policy information is on our Borrowing Materials page.

Collection Development

See our selection guidelines, and how to suggest items, at our Collection Development page.

Faculty of Niagara University may place books and other physical items (e.g., DVDs) on reserve at the Library. These items will be maintained at the Circulation Desk. (All materials that may be viewed electronically should now be placed on your Canvas course pages.)
