Welcome to City Tech! Here’s some information about the City Tech library for anyone who is a new member of the instructional staff. Fall library hours are 9am – 8pm Monday through Thursday, and 9am-5pm Friday. When you have questions about anything research- or library-related, ask a librarian via 24/7 chat or email, or visit us on campus and stop by the reference desk whenever we are open. The City Tech library is on the 4th floor of the Library building.
Use OneSearch to search for books, eBooks, journal articles, and other media in our libraries and across all CUNY libraries. Find scholarly articles, book chapters, streaming media, and much more in the library’s databases. If you need a specific article or journal, you can browse journals by title. All electronic resources are available remotely; use your CUNYFirst credentials to log in and search. Use your City Tech email address to set up free digital newspaper subscriptions to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Need something we don’t have? Use CLICS to request books from other CUNY libraries. For books, articles and other media that CUNY libraries do not own, use interlibrary loan .
Library instruction and class visits to the library: Get to know the library subject specialist for your department. If your course has an assignment requiring library research, contact your subject specialist or use this form to request a library class. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the library class visit policy. All sections of ENG 1101 visit the library for an information literacy lesson and introduction to college-level research. Library instruction for other courses is by the instructor’s request. The library offers remote and in-person workshops as well as subject guides and tutorials that you and your students can use to learn on your own time.
The library supports scholarly publishing. Academic Works is the CUNY-wide institutional repository for scholarly works. Watch for announcements about scholarly publishing workshops that take place throughout the academic year.
