Current ESF student, faculty, or staff member

You will login with your ESFid - a combination username@esf.edu and the password you create with Computing and Network Services.  You will then be prompted verify authentication with the DUO mobile security app.  If you have trouble logging in, please refer this guide from Computing and Network Services: Computing & Network Services > Account Info (esf.edu) or this guide on the DUO mobile security app: DUO

New ESF student

You may have to wait until the upcoming semester is about to start to gain access to library resources.

If you are a new graduate or Ph.D. student and have begun your research between semesters, please contact the library at ask@esf.libanswers.com and include your ESF ID# (if you have one) and when you will start taking classes.

ESF Alumni

Only current faculty, students, and staff have access to most of ESF Libraries' resources when not on ESF's campus and field stations. You can visit Moon Library and ask for a guest pass to access materials.

ESF Visiting Scholars or Instructors

Unfortunately, off campus access for visiting scholars and adjuncts is not automatic. Please send a request to library staff at ask@esf.libanswers.com and include when you plan on leaving ESF and either who you are doing your research or what department you are teaching for.

ESF in the High School

Please use the username and password given to the ESF HS teacher by the Outreach office at ESF. Contact the library if you have any questions. High school students that are not enrolled in a college credit bearing ESF in the High School program can only access ESF library resources by visiting the library in person.

Syracuse University student, faculty, or staff member

Only ESF faculty, staff, and students can access ESF library resources when not on ESF's campus. The Syracuse University community can access SU's library at http://library.syr.edu. If SU does not have the item you want, but ESF does, you can request an Interlibrary Loan through SU Libraries or you can visit Moon Library in person.
