Librarian search tip: For optimal control across the widest range of possible search results when seeking more than just a very few sources, be sure to click into "summon" from the blue search box at the top level of the library's homepage. From Summon's homepage, if seeing only a single search query window, click "options" to reveal a wider range of search result refinement features.
Circulating books on journalism reside primarily on Bird Library’s 5th Floor. Also primarily on the 5th floor are book titles covering mass media, television, radio, theatre & film criticism. Titles with a focus on art criticism, music/music criticism and architectural criticism are on Bird Library's 4th Floor. There is also a separately housed Architecture Reading Room at 300 Slocum Hall. Use basic and advanced searches in the SU Libraries Classic Catalog or SUMMON search engine to determine specific titles and locations of interest.
WorldCat A tool for identifying books and other items on advertising, branding, interactive marketing, etc. available at libraries other than Syracuse University Libraries. Sorts search results by information format/physical type, thus one can readily identify “books,” “visual material (Video/DVD),” “archival material,” etc. Books can usually be delivered to SU via interlibrary loan. Other audiovisual and archival material may require physical travel to view the items and/or the libraries in question may offer fee-based duplication/delivery services.)
