Welcome to a new semester! We have a lot of great new things happening at the library and we’re also bringing back some pre-COVID classics.
Need a book, a quiet place to study or work on a project, or research help? The library is open and all of our in person services are up and running.
Come visit us on the 4th floor of the Library building weekdays from 9-5pm.
Get virtual help 24X7
Off campus or up late working on a project and need help? Just Ask us!
You can chat with CUNY Librarians on weekdays and librarians from other institutions on evenings and weekends.
Books, Reserves, and More….
All of our collections, including reserve books, are now available. Borrow circulating books from the library stacks for 8 weeks, 2-hour reserve books for use in the library, and 3-week reserve books for 3 weeks (obviously).
Because of budget constraints are currently only purchasing reserves by request. Place a reserve request.
Taking a math class? Our Graphing TI86 and Scientific TI36 calculators are available at the Borrow and Return desk.
Sorry… we currently, we don’t have laptops or tablets available to borrow.

Access Library Resources from Off-Campus
Use CUNY login credentials to access library databases, research articles, movies, and ebooks from off campus.
Use these same credentials to login to “My Library Account” on the library website. If your preferred name isn’t associated with your library account, you can change that!
Featured Eresources
We have a ton of electronic resources to help with your research including these new additions:
- AVON: this database of streaming videos includes over 66,000 titles across subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more.
- Digital Theatre+ : now available off campus, watch videos of theater performances, read related theory and criticism, and more.
Don’t forget! You can access free digital newspaper subscriptions through the Library.
Need Something We Don’t Have?
We don’t have everything but…City Tech Students, Faculty, and Staff can request materials from any CUNY library and pick them up at City Tech.
Interlibrary Loan is continuing to fill article and individual book chapter requests and deliver them electronically. ILL is great for scholarly research and course assignments.
Faculty and staff can also request books not available at CUNY through ILL.
Questions? Email us: interlibraryloan@citytech.cuny.edu
Library Instruction Offerings
Are you assigning papers or projects that require library research? You can request a library instruction session for your in-person or online synchronous class.
Are you teaching asynchronously? Share the library’s tutorials and research guides with your students. Use the Blackboard library module, or add the library widget to your OpenLab site, so your students can access library search tools.
Contact your library subject specialist to find out more about subject-specific resources and support for your asynchronous class.
For general questions about library instruction, contact Prof. Anne Leonard, library instruction coordinator.
Library Workshops
This semester we’re offering a mix of online and in-person workshops for every audience. Need help citing sources or creating a resume? Want to learn about protecting your privacy online? Considering applying to graduate school but not sure where to start? There’s a workshop for that!
We also offer workings on scholarly publishing and Open Educational Resources every semester.
Keep an eye on your inbox and check our website and social media channels for more information about upcoming workshops and registration information.
Support for Scholarly Publishing
Complementing our workshop series, the library provides individualized assistance. Do you need help with any aspect of scholarly publishing? Our Scholarly Publishing Clinic is available for virtual consultations. Learn how to pick the best journal or publisher for your article or book, retain rights as an author, create a Google Scholar profile or search alert, use Academic Works and citation managers, and more.
Office hours are by appointment every last Thursday of each month this semester at 4 PM via Zoom or phone. Email Prof. Monica Berger to schedule your consultation and discuss your preferences for shared communication. Use this form to give us advance notice of your question. Don’t forget that you can also reach out to your subject liaison in the library.
We’ll be announcing this semester’s workshops soon so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can also teach yourself about a variety of topics including open access, copyright, and ORCID author identifiers on our revamped scholarly publishing landing page. Your feedback about the page is welcome.
