Digital scanners for print and microform are located in the Public Services area, adjacent to the Reference and Circulation Desk.  A fax for student use is located in the Periodicals Office.

The Sammartino Room, located on the first floor, is intended to house and to showcase the intellectual and historical heritage of the university. Its collection includes doctoral dissertations, FDU Press publications, the FDU Magazine archive, the Literary Review, FDU Yearbooks, books about the university and by university faculty, as well as FDU memorabilia.

A collection of books from the Office of President J. Michael Adams has been added to the Sammartino Room collection.

The Special Collections area also includes the Faculty Display Case for current faculty publications, as well as the work of alumni authors. The Magister Room contains master’s theses, and the Undergraduate Research and Writing Room contains Honor’s theses, student newspapers, and other undergraduate writing.

The FDU Online Library provides access to 90+ subscription databases containing over 20,000 full-text journals, more than 75,000 e-books, and a streaming video collection. Most resources within the FDU Online Library are available 24/7, both on campus and remotely.

The FDU Digital Archives collection consists of unique items from the university's archives, and from distinctive collections developed in collaboration with non-library partners, related to both the history of Northern New Jersey and the University. Materials include master's theses, government documents, historical photographs and documents, digital artifacts, maps, and podcasts. This collection is continually growing as we work to preserve our university's heritage.
