Circulation 420-2183 George LoPresti	At the Circulation desk, any current student can check out books using their SUNYCard. You can check out up to ten books at a time, for two weeks, with renewals possible. Please return books using the drop-box on the east side (by Knapp Hall) of the building when the library is closed. Late fines apply to all patrons, and accumulate at the rate of ten cents per day per book. One dollar per day will be charged for any reserve material taken from the library without permission. Official transcripts and transfer of academic credits will be blocked for students owing library fines or lost book charges. If you have a SUNY Card and proof of current enrollment (such as an expiration date on SUNYcard, a registrar's receipt or print-out of current class schedule) you can check out books at any other SUNY library, including Stony Brook, Suffolk & Nassau Community Colleges, and Old Westbury.
Reference 420-2184 Jim Macinick	The Reference desk is located on the main floor of the Library, next to the central staircase. A Librarian is always available to help you with your research. Getting help from a Librarian at the beginning of the research process can save you time, stress, and maybe even money.
Reserve Room 420-2183	The Reserve Room contains materials such as books and articles that have been set aside by a faculty member or Librarian. In addition, the Library's collection of over 1,000 videos is housed in the Reserve Room.

Information Literacy 420-2173 Jim Macinick	Greenley Library offers information literacy instruction tailored to specific courses. The program is designed to help students learn to distinguish among various sources, determine if a source is appropriate for a given assignment and design effective research strategies.
