Why use the library webpage?
Google and wikipedia are great places to start doing research and even for finding some types of information.
Learning to use the library and the resources available through its web pages will help you find more scholarly resources and save you time.
Many of these resources are not available to you FREE on the web, but are provided to you through the library, SUNY, the state of NY, or even your SUNY Brockport technology fee.
