Supports student achievement and success through a variety of services, including reference, printing and technology support, outreach and liaison partnerships, instruction, event planning, exhibitions and more. We also welcome collaborations with campus entities or other creative programs. Find us in person at our service desks and via email, phone or 24/7 via chat or text services.
Reference and Information Services
As a Syracuse University student, staff or faculty member, you have 24/7 online access to thousands of peer-reviewed journals, e-books and so much more. Finding the resources you need can be challenging. Our professionally-trained staff are available to help you in person, by phone, email or chat. We save you time by showing you how to find and use the best available sources for your research.
Technology and Printing Assistance
Located on the first floor of Bird Library, the Technology Desk provides assistance with standard and poster (plotter) printing, scanning, wireless access, copying and use of the campus print management system (PaperCut). For more information, see our Printing and Technology page.
Tabling and Space Requests at Bird Library
SU students, faculty and staff looking to use the open space of the lower three floors of Bird Library can complete the Tabling & Other Space Request form. See the Learning Commons page for examples of the types of activities and requests we can accommodate.
Note: if you are seeking to reserve rooms in Bird, please use the Reserve a Room page.
Exhibitions and Displays
We curate displays and exhibits in the three mobile cases on the 1st floor of Bird Library. For current and past exhibits, see our Learning Commons Exhibits page. We also actively facilitate and support the display of student, faculty and others' collections on the Learning Commons floors of Bird Library.
New Book Displays
The new books area is located just inside the University Place entrance to Bird Library on the first floor. New books are curated from fiction, non-fiction, art, SU authors and SU Press. We also feature special displays for celebratory months and notable times of the year (like Black History Month or Asian Pacific Heritage Month) or to reflect collaborations with other campus groups. If you are interested in collaborating or proposing ideas for special displays, contact colls@syr.edu.
