Butler Library is here to help! You can find a variety of information about our resources and service on this guide, as well as on our main library website. 

Your home for studying, writing, collaborating, and researching. The Grad Commons is located on the 2nd floor balcony near Argo Tea. Priority for the space will be given to graduate students from 3 p.m. to close and on weekends.

• Appointment Form - Schedule an appointment with a librarian for individualized assistance with your research. This is the best way to get reference assistance outside our regular reference hours. (Find our reference hours and related information here.)

• Interlibrary Loan - ILL is a service that allows you to borrow materials from a library outside of Buffalo State. You will need to create an account to use this service. Ask a librarian for more information.
