Affective Questions:

1. If I needed help with my research I would feel very comfortable asking a reference librarian for help. These reference librarians are here for our use, so I would definitely take advantage of them if I were struggling in my research.

2. Two questions that I would like to have answered about the library are 1) How many books are in the Science Library alone? ; and 2) is there anyway to access the libraries on campus if one is not a SUNY Albany student?

3. What I liked best about the library is the way it is organized. I was able to find each section with incredible ease. Unfortunately, I didn?t enjoy the lack of silence. Perhaps the library was particularly noisy because there were many other students trying to complete the same assignment I was. I knew that if I were in the library studying on this day, it would have been hard for me to concentrate.
