The Library subscribes to over 24,000 full text electronic periocicals as well as to hundreds of paper journal subscritiption. Electronic resources can also be accessed from computer labs and residence halls through the campus network and from off-campus via the World Wide Web. The catalog and various other operations are fully automated. The Library has a substantial complement of computer equipment to access these resources, including over 50 laptop computers with wireless network access that may be used by students within the building. Canisius students have convenient and rapid access to 5.8 million volumes in the Connect NY Consortium. Further, the Library's participation in OCLC (On-line Computer Library Center), an international library consortium, enables it to borrow materials from libraries throughout the United States via direct computer link.
