LIU BROOKLYN HONORS COLLEGE
The LIU Brooklyn Honors College is a nationally recognized liberal arts program for undergraduate students in all disciplines at LIU Brooklyn. It is designed to assist students to become critical and independent thinkers. That goal is accomplished through an enriched core curriculum in small, seminar-style liberal arts classes that stress student participation and independent learning. The Honors College also gives students freedom to design their own majors (see contract major). Within the university, the Honors College mission is to develop an active community of learners, providing opportunities for intellectual support, social interaction, and leadership development. The Honors College is active in national organizations representing honors students and undergraduate research. Honors College students are encouraged to shape their own education in a variety of ways. They may do so by taking a broad range of courses outside their areas of concentration, by attending national and regional conferences involving undergraduate research, and by participating in national and international Honors Semesters sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). Admission to the Honors College requires an additional application process. Once admitted to LIU Brooklyn, students should apply directly to the Honors College. For information, please contact the director's office at 718-780-4023, fax 718-780-4061 or email bkln- [email protected].

Student Health Insurance
Long Island University has partnered with Gallagher Student Health & Special Risk to develop a cost-effective Student Health Insurance Plan that provides our students and families with robust medical coverage at school, back home, and while traveling or studying abroad. The plan is fully compliant with Federal Health Care Reform and offers students and their dependents access to a network of doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies throughout the country. All international students, clinical students, residential students, LIU Global students, and intercollegiate athletes are automatically enrolled in the Plan but can waive participation online at www.gallagherstudent.com/liu if they have comparable coverage under a family plan or other policy. Students who enter during the spring and summer terms can also participate in the plan with shorter coverage period, reduced rates, and specific enrollment/waiver deadlines. Beginning on July 1st, students can go to their MyLIU account and click on the “Student Health Insurance” link from the Student Center Home Page to enroll in the Plan, print ID cards, check claims, or waive coverage. Coverage begins on August 15, which represents the start of the plan year, and extends through August 14. Remember that if you have been automatically enrolled in the plan and wish to waive coverage, you must go online and receive confirmation by the waiver deadlines listed below. If you require additional assistance, please call the Office of Student Financial Services at 516-299-2553.

LIU BROOKLYN LIBRARY
Ingrid Wang, Associate Professor, Director; Telephone: 718-488-1680 Fax: 718-780-4057 The LIU Libraries system serves a combined total of over 20,000 students and more than 600 full-time faculty members across residential and regional campuses. The university’s libraries share many online resources that can be accessed from anywhere at any time via remote access including subscriptions to more than 94,000 online journals; 150 online databases; 170,000 electronic books; and 41,000 files of streaming media. These resources may be accessed via the LIU Brooklyn Library homepage at www.liu.edu/brooklyn- library. Collectively, the libraries house approximately 664,000 print books and more than 15,000 non-print media items. The collections of all LIU libraries are listed in LIUCAT, the library catalog. Books, journal articles and other library materials owned by LIU’s libraries not available at a particular campus can be requested through LIUCAT and supplied via the intralibrary loan service of the LIU libraries. Items not available at LIU libraries can also be requested through interlibrary loan and brought to campus or delivered electronically. The LIU Brooklyn Library houses a rich collection of books, periodicals, microforms, audio and videotapes, CDs and DVDs, pamphlets, and other materials in support of the campus’ educational programs. The reference collection, reference desk, paralegal collection and technical services departments are situated on the third floor of the Salena Library Learning Center. An information commons, consisting of clusters of computers, provides access to the databases, library catalog, and the Internet, all within a few steps of the reference librarians. These computers, as well as all other computers in the library, are also equipped with productivity software such as word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. The periodicals department, with a collection of both print and microform titles, is located on the fourth floor, where digital microform readers and printers are available. The InterLibrary loan, special collections, rare book room, and the electronic services department are also located on the fourth floor. The circulation desk, reserve collection, and the main book stacks are located on the fifth floor. The media center, housing the multimedia collection, media equipment and a group viewing room, is also on the fifth floor, as is the Library’s cyber lab. The cyber lab is equipped with computers that provide access to databases, library catalog, and Internet as well as up-to-date word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and database programs. In addition, the Library’s “smart classrooms” are located on the fifth floor. Photocopying machines are available on all three floors of the Library. The Library is a member of several consortia, which grant both reading and borrowing privileges to LIU students. The Library offers information literacy classes and curriculum-integrated instruction. Library faculty and staff are available to help faculty and students with reference questions and research strategies.
