SUMMIT, the web-based online catalog (http://summit.syr.edu/index.html) includes shared holdings of the SU, SU Law, Martin Luther King, Jr., and SUNY ESF libraries, and provides links to many other electronic resources, inlcuding databases and full-text collections. The online catalog is accessible from outside the Library, but licensing restrictions limit the use of most databases to SU-affiliated users.

Books, journals, and U.S. government depository publications are shelved in open stacks. Rare books and manuscripts are located on the sixth floor of Bird Library. A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Laboratory on the third floor of Bird offers spatial data sets. In Media Services computers and multimedia resources are available in support of classroom assignments and instruction. Media Services also provides services and equipment for individuals with disabilities. The Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive next door contains more than 300,000 historic sound recordings.
