In order to use e-resources off campus, you must have your library barcode (found on your City Tech ID) activated at the library’s Circulation (Borrow and Return) desk. When on campus, most e-resources are accessed automatically. When off-campus, login with your City Tech library barcode found on the lower left of your City Tech ID labeled LIB. All City Tech library barcodes begin with the prefix of 22477. Enter all the numbers without spaces.
The following e-resources require creating an account with a login using your City Tech email:
New York Times http://cityte.ch/nyt
RefWorks http://cityte.ch/rfw
Wall Street Journal http://cityte.ch/wsj
Note that the New York Times and Wall Street Journals have apps for phones and tablets. Apps are also available for some products, such as EBSCO.
If a database is listed as fulltext, this does not mean that the entire contents is in full text. Click Find it at CUNY to see if we have access to the article in another database. If fulltext is not available, consider using interlibrary loan.
Ebooks are varied in terms of options for download. For example, an Adobe Digital Editions account is required to borrow Ebook Central Ebook Central titles electronically. Other vendors allow downloading of books and book chapters as PDFs. Most textbooks are not available as e-books.
Did you know that you can connect our e-resources to Google Scholar? This is extremely handy for more advanced student researchers and for faculty. Interested in learning more about how to maximize City Tech’s e-resources for your research? If you are faculty, please contact your subject librarian. Students can learn more about using the library’s e-resources at our workshops and visit us at the Reference (Ask a Librarian) desk for more help.
If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Kimberly Abrams, kabrams@citytech.cuny.edu
