Welcome to an inspiring space for your summer studies and research.

The department of Political Science and International Relations and Milne Library are excited to announce the electronic publication of the journal, The Political Realm!   Published in print since the 1991/1992 academic year, the spring 2026 issue marks the first volume to be published electronically! 

The volume can be found on KnightScholar. KnightScholar is supported by Milne Library and makes openly available publications created by SUNY Geneseo faculty, staff, and students as well as digital collections from the College Archives.

In the month of May, we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in our shared history.  Celebrate with a book from our American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month collection!

The UNESCO Virtual Museum of Stolen Objects  highlights cultural artifacts taken from communities through looting, colonialism, and illicit trafficking. Its interactive galleries make the stories behind each object clear and accessible, showing not just what was stolen but why it matters. 
It’s an engaging, educational resource that encourages critical thinking about ownership, heritage, and the ethics of museum collections. 

Join us in celebrating, honoring, and supporting the LGBTQ+ Community with a book from our LGBTQIA+ Pride Collection! 

This collection promotes equality and raises awareness about LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other identities) rights, issues, and the diversity and accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community, to continue combating discrimination and prejudice against LGBTQ+ individuals.

Our beloved Peggy-ILean will be visiting Milne Library on GREAT DAY from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, Wednesday, April 22.  
Peggy will *not* be visiting during her usual 4:30 to 5:30 PM time on GREAT Day.
