New Library Web Site….coming by October 15

 

The Resnick Library will soon be changing the look and style of its web pages to fit in with the college’s OmniUpdate platform.  Please be aware the web site address and the navigation will be changing by October 15.    We are interested in feedback from any faculty or staff as we move to the new site.   If any of you are interested in previewing the pages and providing us with criticism and/or suggestions, please contact us at library@delhi.edu or leave a comment on this blog.

Make Sure Your Vote Counts in November!

Are you registered to vote in this year’s Presidential election?  Act now, it’s not too late!

It’s easy:  fill out an online or paper application (available on campus in your Resnick Library and Learning Center), and mail with photocopy of ID (driver’s license or passport) OR deliver in person to your state’s election office.

College students living away from home can mail in registration forms (by Oct 10 in NYS), and then send in an absentee ballot to their local election board.  See registration applications and absentee ballots below. 

NYS dates:
Oct 10 – Applications must be postmarked by October 10.  (Oct 15 for some exceptions)

NYS absentee ballots must be mailed to your local election board office 7 days before the general election (TUESDAY OCT 28 this year) or delivered in person up to the day before (MONDAY NOV 3) the election.

To vote in federal election, you must:

• be a United States citizen;
• be 18 years old by December 31 of the year in which you file this form (note: you must be 18 years old by the date of the general, primary or other election in which you want to vote);
• live at your present address at least 30 days before an election;
• not be in jail or on parole for a felony conviction and;
• not claim the right to vote elsewhere.

WHEN YOU VOTE:
If you register for the first time in a state by mail, you must present ID at the polls.

Library Passwords and Accounts

The library emergency password for off-campus databases (CINAHL, Lexis/Nexis, ScienceDirect, etc.) has changed for the fall semester.  You should be able to use your college ID, but if that doesn’t work, we have a temporary password that changes each semester.   Contact the library at library@delhi.edu and provide your college ID, or log into VanckoHall to get the emergency password.

As a reminder, there are 3 different possible library logins:
1. Off-campus access for databases (such as above), which is your college ID.  Only needed when you’re off campus trying to access resources such as CINAHL, ScienceDirect, etc.

2. Your Resnick Library account – that is stuff you’ve borrowed from Resnick Library.  You can view the list of loans, renew online, etc.  Your login is your college ID.

3. ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system, which allows you to borrow books, films, etc from other libraries in SUNY and around the state.   You can track requests, renew, etc.  (sign up following link on library home page, it’s free!).   Keep it simple and make your ILLiad account your college ID like the other accounts (or use your Delhi email account).
