SHARES Worldwide Library Access

The Graduate Center Library is an OCLC SHARES consortium member, which confers GC students, faculty, and staff access to participating university and museum libraries in New York City and across the world. SHARES also lowers interlibrary loan costs involving other SHARES libraries.

The NYC area SHARES consortia includes the Frick Collection and Art Reference Library, Fordham University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Yale University. For Columbia University and New York University, Graduate Center affiliates need to apply for ongoing access via the MaRLI program or one day Metro referrals.

See a full list of SHARES member libraries around the globe.  

Be sure to bring your current photo ID from your own SHARES member library to visit another member library. Call ahead if you will require staff assistance.
