The week of March 9, 2020 brought a flurry of messages from the President, Provost, HR, Campus Communications, CIT, and other offices, as well as the Governor, SUNY, and our unions.

Libraries started preparing for transition to electronic delivery, limiting collection access, services, and resources to be online-only.
