Great resources for Graduate Students
- WorldCat DiscoveryUse WorldCat to search for items available in libraries Worldwide. We can get many of the items for you through Interlibrary Loan.

- ZoteroZotero is a free citation management tool that will help you track your papers, cite sources properly, and create a reference list in ONE click.
Tracking Down a Citation
When you'd like to track down a citation, complete the following steps:
-
Identify the Citation -- is it a book, book chapter or article?
-
If the item is a book, search WorldCat
-
If the item is an article, use Article Look up by Citation
Before Giving Up
If you're frustrated and thinking about giving up your search for a book, search the following places:
- Google Books - you might find a preview of the book or more information.
- Amazon.com - you might find a few pages that will help you decide if the book is worth locating.
- WorldCat.org - find out which library has it.
If you know the book exists in another area/SUNY library, you can make the decision to go there (with the RRLC Access Card or your Brockport ID) or request the item through Interlibrary Loan.
Using Other Libraries
Unfortunately, the Brockport collection may not have everything you need for graduate studies at Brockport. Here are a few other sources of which to be aware:
- WorldCat Classic
This is a catalog of ALL libraries, regardless of distance or ease of delivery. To obtain items from this catalog that are NOT labeled Brockport, use Interlibrary Loan.
- RRLC Access PassThe RRLC Access Pass allows you to use participating libraries in the Rochester region on site as a guest. For program requirements and requests, contact Pam O'Sullivan (posulliv@brockport.edu). Requires registration in person (Monday - Friday only).
