Library Services
The J. Spencer and Patricia Standish Library is a teaching library providing educational services, materials, and information to support the Curricular and research needs of the students and faculty. The library collection of over 350,000 volumes consists of books, journals, microforms, compact discs, videocassettes, and a growing number of electronic information sources. Over 5,000 journals are available in print or through electronic resources. Patrons can access the online catalog, the library's Web site, and many other electronic resources through the campus network and the Internet.

Professional librarians are on duty every day during the academic terms to assist students and faculty in their course assignments and research. Other services include individual and group instruction in the effective use and evaluation of print and electronic resources, interlibrary loan, course reserves, rush cataloging, and media services. Through local and national resource sharing networks and agreements, Siena students and faculty have access to the holding of libraries in New York State and throughout the United States.
