Online Databases

Libraries in our North Country region have access to a number of online database services. These services are provided through the New York State Library (NOVELNY), the Northern New York Library Network, and/or the St. Lawrence-Lewis School Library System.

NOVELNY is a statewide virtual library provided free to the public by the New York State Library. It is supported with temporary federal Library Services and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
