Public Services Edition

Like everyone else, the University Libraries experienced a change of pace during the 2020-2021 academic year. We are proud, however, to report that adjustment to services were minimal. In fact, the Libraries’ faculty and staff responded to meet the challenges and continued to provide the support the UAlbany community expects. 

We’re beginning with Public Services numbers (Access Services, Reference and Research Services, Information Literacy). Be sure to look out for future installments, highlighting Technical Services and more!
