In remembrance of September 11th, 2001





In honor of the 10th anniversary of September 11th and , we offer access to a specialized list of electronic books from ebrary that commemorate the event. The list can be viewed here.

The Ritz Library has also created a display of books related to September 11th. You can see them in the display case near the Circulation Desk when you enter the Ritz Library.

Of special note to the entire campus community is an exhibit that has been installed in the 4th floor lobby of Hudson Hall. The exhibit consists of banners showing the history of the event as well as a timeline and an actual piece of aluminum from the World Trade Center, salvaged from Ground Zero. More information on the exhibit can be see here.

eBooks take off at the Ritz!

Accessing electronic books at the DCC Library has just gotten a big lift. First, we've added more than 16,000 additional titles to ebrary, the Ritz' s main collection of ebooks. These books cover all academic subjects and include not only new titles, but classics as well.

Then there's the EBSCO eBooks Collection. While it contains only 1,600 books, many of the titles in this system were picked by SUNY based on "best book" listings.

Besides being able to search these collections separately, you can also access them, along with descriptions of our printed books, via the Ritz Online Catalog.
