Your Library Questions, Answered!
A lot of you have reached out with questions about returning and renewing library materials, overdue fines, ID activation, remote access, and more.

Textbook Alternatives for Spring 2020
The library has created a research guide to assist the City Tech community in finding electronic versions of course textbooks. The guide contains links to open textbooks, free textbooks from select publishers, and ebooks available for the spring term. The guide also has information on how to reach out to library subject specialists who can aid users in searching for ebooks in their discipline.

Expanded Access to Electronic Resources
During this time, many publishers have offered expanded access to online resources in an effort to support the sudden move to online learning. While I am currently in the process of setting-up access to more free resources, there is a LibGuide with expanded access to eresources that have been set-up CUNY-wide and specifically for City Tech. If you have received any correspondence from publishers about complimentary access during the crisis, please forward to Prof. Kim Abrams.

Do you need help with scholarly publishing? Our Scholarly Publishing Clinic is available for virtual consultations.
