Reference Databases
Resources in our print and online Reference collections, such as subject encyclopedias, are great starting points for your research. They offer concise overviews of a topic, summaries of key research, and often a bibliography which can serve as a starting list of sources for your project.

Who's on the other side of the chat box?
During most Library Hours, you will be able to chat with a SUNY Ulster librarian. When the library is closed or all librarians are busy, the chat will be staffed by librarians from different institutions through Ask Us 24/7. We will respond to chats during regular business hours.
Before chatting, consider checking if your question is one of the Library FAQs.
