The City Tech Library, in partnership with the Faculty Commons, is pleased to invite all faculty to a library workshop. Learn to design web pages for instructional use, including layout and navigation, color and graphics, and developing effective content. We will look at beginner HTML and other online alternatives.
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 20, 1-2pm in Rm. A441 (small library classroom). RSVP to Prof. Maura Smale at msmale@citytech.cuny.edu or 260-5748.
New year, new database page!
Happy new year! We’re pleased to announce the launch of the library’s improved database page:
The new page makes browsing for a database easier! You can view an alphabetical list of all databases or choose a subject from the drop-down menu to view only the databases specific to that subject. Database descriptions are now included so you can be sure you’re selecting the perfect resource for your research needs.
Please report any problems you encounter to Prof. Allie Verbovetskaya at AVerbovetskaya@citytech.cuny.edu.
Remember! If you need assistance searching in a database or finding resources on your topic, you can always ask a librarian!
Forms on Library Website Down
Forms on our website are not working. Students and faculty cannot use Ask a Librarian, reserve the projection room, use the troubleshooting form for the databases, request workshops, make a research appointment, and submit comments about the website.
Please note that interlibrary loan services via ILLIAD is working.
As soon as this is fixed, we’ll update the City Tech community.
Library Website is Down
The library website is currently down due to technical difficulties.
In the meantime, click here to search the CUNY+ library catalog, and access CUNY-wide library databases from here. (Note that the City Tech Library subscribes to several unique databases that you will be unable to access from this page.)
We’ll post an update as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.
Library Website Survey
The library recently posted a survey about their website. You can visit the survey here. This will provide us feedback on how to improve the site, as well as what kind of visitors we have. All participants will remain anonymous. If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Junior Tidal at jtidal@citytech.cuny.edu.
Library Relaunches Website!
The Ursula C. Schwerin Library is pleased to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website – http://library.citytech.cuny.edu. The website incorporates user-centered design, faster load times, and improved accessibility. The site has several new features including:
– A redesigned homepage with “switch” tabs to facilitate easier searching for books, articles, databases, and the site itself.
– An updated navigation scheme allows users to easily traverse the website. Users also have section markers to indicate where they are on the site. In addition, each page has uniform navigation so users can readily visit other sections of the site.
– Electronic forms have been updated so faculty members can reserve course materials, make interlibrary loan requests, schedule reservations for the Multimedia Resource Center project ion room, and to request help through our Email-A-Librarian form.
– A new “How Do I…?” section provides quick answers to popular questions. This includes questions on where to find books on the shelf, the length of loan periods, online renewals, CLICS (CUNY Libraries Inter-Campus Service), library accounts, connecting to the library’s wireless network, and much more.
– The website has also been integrated with the library’s news blog, LibraryBuzz. New headlines are automatically generated on the homepage.
We encourage you to visit the website today! In striving to improve our website’s services, your feedback and suggestions are most welcome. You can submit your reactions through the comment page linked at the bottom of the homepage, or by contacting Prof. Junior Tidal at jtidal@citytech.cuny.edu .
