Activating Your Library Card: Slightly New Procedure


Have you activated your library card for this semester? If you have, congrats! You are now able to borrow library materials from libraries throughout CUNY and access our online resources from the comfort of your home.
If you are a student and you haven’t, activated your library card yet, we just want to let you know that there has been a slight change to the procedure. As of this semester, Student ID cards are no longer getting stickers, so we ask that you bring both your Student ID card AND a copy of this semester’s bursar receipt (you can print a copy from esims) so that our circulation staff can verify you as a current student and welcome you back to the library.

Interlibrary loan for students coming July 1

As of July 1, the City Tech Library provides Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services for students who need articles that cannot be obtained from the library’s print and electronic collections. Most articles are delivered to ILL users’ accounts as PDFs that can be downloaded and printed. Students may sign up for an ILL account here and begin placing requests immediately. Student users may have up to 5 active requests at one time.
Students are encouraged to use CLICS to request books that are available in other CUNY libraries but not at City Tech. Reference librarians are happy to help students locate books elsewhere in the biblio-universe.
