Special note regarding ILL and reserves:

Books and articles acquired through InterLibrary Loan cannot be placed on reserve. "... libraries are allowed to engage in ILL arrangements, so long as the arrangements "do not have, as their purpose or effect, that the library or archives receiving such copies or phonorecords for distribution do so in such aggregate quantities as to substitute for a subscription to or purchase of such work." (Section 108 of Copyright Law. http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/libraries-and-copyright/interlibrary-loan/)

Please email ill@utica.edu or reserves@utica.edu if you have any questions regarding ILL and reserves.

Library Space

Faculty in need of meeting or classroom space should contact their School office.

Group study rooms are in high demand and are for the exclusive use of Utica University students for academic purposes.  Because of this high demand, they are not available for faculty, classes, or other group use.

The Kelly Teaching & Learning Center classroom is at the center of the Learning Commons on the first floor of the Library. It is designated for library instruction and serves as an open lab for students when it is not in use by library staff.
