What’s New in the Library Spring 2018

As the new semester gets underway, We’d like to highlight some new resources, workshops, and programs being offered by the City Tech Library.

New Logo

During the Fall 2016 semester, City Tech Librarians worked with Prof. Fikaris’ Design Studio students to develop a logo for the library. We are very pleased to showcase our new logo, which was designed by Julia Karovina, who recently graduated from City Tech with a Communications Design degree. Her logo was selected out of more 50 designs and was integrated into our website in Fall 2017.

Want to save on textbook costs? Students can now find zero textbook cost courses by selecting the “Zero Textbook Cost” course attribute in CUNYFirst.
