Blackwell Library

 

Holloway Hall
Distance Learners & Educators
Blackwell Library is committed to providing a full range of library resources and services to SU patrons who do not always visit our campus.  View a list of SU Online & Hybrid Courses.
  
A library barcode (ID/barcode) login will be required for off-campus access to many library resources/services.  Your barcode is the 14 digit number on the back of your SU GULL CARD.
 
To find your barcode, log into your GullNet account (www.salisbury.edu/gullnet/) and from the menu options, click on 'Library Barcode' and your 14 digit number will display.
