Even though the City Tech Library is closed until further notice, our resources and services and dedicated library faculty and staff are still available to support you as you transition to
online instruction.

Accessing Library Resources from Off-Campus
All students and faculty have access to hundreds of databases (with articles, newspapers, audio and video) and thousands of ebooks from the library website. Login with your City Tech ID.

Ask a Librarian
We’ll miss you and your students at the Ask a Librarian desk but we offer chat reference support 24×7. Get in touch with your questions!

The Library is Already in Your Course

Library Instruction for Any Course
Our information literacy instruction program has moved online, too! Use our online Library Orientation to introduce your students to academic research, or contact Prof. Anne Leonard (aleonard@citytech.cuny.edu) for more information about online library instruction.

Make use of open educational resources (OER) and other free materials to support instruction. Find open/free resources, or browse CUNY and City Tech OER. For more information, contact Prof. Cailean Cooney (ccooney@citytech.cuny.edu).
