What is Connect NY?

Connect NY

Adelphi University Libraries participate in the ConnectNY consortium. In addition to the AU Libraries’
holdings, Adelphi students and faculty have access to print books and DVDs via the ConnectNY
consortium. ConnectNY is a combined catalog of 12 participating academic libraries in New York
State.

Current member libraries are:
Adelphi University
Bard College
Canisius College
Le Moyne College
Marist College
Pace University
Pratt Institute
Rochester Institute of Technology
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Siena College
United States Military Academy at West Point
Vassar College

If Adelphi does not own the print books or DVDs that you need (or if our copies are checked out), you
may request them via the ConnectNY shared catalog if they are available.

Connect NY items will be delivered to Swirbul Library, but they can be shipped to your home
upon request (contact User Services at (516) 877-3570, userservices@adelphi.edu). They can be
returned to any Adelphi Library or shipped back to Swirbul Library with a prepaid shipping label.

Please note: Journal articles not available at Adelphi must still be requested through Interlibrary
Borrowing
.
Only print books and DVDs can be requested via ConnectNY.
