MyInfo, An Alternative to CUNYfirst
CUNYfirst unavailable? There is a new application called MyInfo that allows students to access some of their information, like their schedules, even if CUNYfirst is down. There’s a link on the college homepage to MyInfo (it’s the first slide of the rotating slides), and the direct URL is: http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/myinfo/
Access NYC Libraries with ID NYC
All New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status are eligible for the city’s new government ID cards.

As an added bonus, card holders who sign up during 2015 are eligible for one-year memberships at cultural institutions throughout the city.
For more information about the ID program, and how to apply, visit the IDNYC website.

OneSearch beta is here!
OneSearch, a new discovery tool under development, is now available on the City Tech Library website. Try it out!
What is OneSearch?
OneSearch is a powerful new discovery tool that allows you to search for e-books, hard copy books, journal articles, and digital collections in one spot.
How does it work?
OneSearch is essentially a vast index of much of the library’s databases, including the library catalog. It does not provide access to every database and resource the library subscribes to so keep searching individual databases and journals as well.
Look further!
Read an excellent introductory post by Professor Jill Cirasella. It includes many useful screenshots.
