About Penfield's Main Search Box

The main search box on Penfield Library's homepage is a great way to access library content. It will get you access to:

Books, ebooks, and media owned by Penfield Library--everything you would otherwise look up in the library catalog.
The contents of many library databases, including JSTOR, Academic OneFile, and most others.

That being said, Penfield Library has access to many more resources that we currently can't make available to you through this search box.
