Library Support for Remote Instruction
The librarians are available to assist faculty with making library resources available to students while classes are being offered remotely. Please reach out via email (askref@sunyulster.edu) or leave a message at the Reference Desk (845-687-5208). A librarian will get back to you as soon as possible. Please instruct your students needing assistance to reach out the same way. We are practicing social distancing and will be providing all support remotely.
